Do I need friends

Sorry to hear about your computer, but I'm glad you've reached out. I got impatient and came up with some artwork for 22 cards. :cherrypie:

As for differences, I would say the way loot distribution works, as well as the Game Night framework in general, would be the only differences.

You can find me on the linked discord. :steamthumbsup:

Hey I also made the original Spiffo Trading Cards mod. Def need to update it tho since been a long time. But haven’t been able to make updates with my broken computer. But def will check out this mod to see how it compares!

In-game no, but the fraction on the bottom represents how many there are.

If you were curious to what they looked like:

Eh, it was mostly defining container and item grid sizes

Imaginary Friends made a mod that patched a lot of mods for Inventory Tetris, Game Night being one of them

Imaginary friends patch?
Fem_Bane 28 Jun, 2024 @ 6:40pm 
Card stacks are a little buggy with Inventory Tetris, once separated they can't recombine to the bigger stack with more card options. I might try to make a patch based off of imaginary friends game night patch

Ignore people spouting the same rhetoric against AI use for stuff, it's a weird hate-boner.
People just spout stuff they view as ethically correct, based off of what they heard, without context or research. Happens with a million other things.
Great mod, good mod author :3

Excellent work! Another prime example of how AI allows individuals to perform the tasks of teams or produce otherwise lengthy work at a fraction of the time with very little lack of quality. I don't think the use of AI in this way is at all a bad thing, in fact because of that this mod is out quickly to us- And the modder is able to start they're next project! Thank you!

The PNG of Officer Spiffo doesn't do this mod justice (see what I did there?).

To say this mod is a labour of love is an understatement; each card is thoughtfully crafted, and the mod TRULY feels like a Vanilla feature. In the same way that I tried to collect McDonalds cups, I am driven to collect-em-all.

To anyone who checks this mod out, it will be abundantly clear that a lot of work went into its creation-- both the underlying idea, the faithful adaptation of our favourite raccoon mascot into a series of images that are 100% on-brand and meme-worthy in and of themselves, the attention to detail shown in the touch-up work, and iterative testing made to get to launch.

I emphasized the word "learn", because it's important to note that, at least with SD, it doesn't refer back to images when creating new ones.

Even if it did just take parts of an image and slap it together - which it doesnt, the model I used doesn't include those scrapped images, it uses the collection of Creative-Commons licensed artwork, with an additional layer of Spiffo artwork on top.

Again, just like with the implication about uncredited work, not a fan of the insult that no research was done just because I don't agree with you.

I myself am an artist, I am not worried about AI use. I also don't want to draw 22 Spiffo's, nor pay someone to do so, for a hobby project. Thanks.

Stable Diffusion used the Laion database mentioned in the article. The same one as being the only party to respect a removal request. Not that that matters, but it's strange to try to force all cases into the same box to drive a narrative.

I think the other programs are built off of stable diffusion, but later privatized where as StableDiffusion has remained open sourced. The website I used to find the models (CitivAI) also does frequent removals of copyrighted material found in models.

It learned how to interpret images from that Laion collection. Use of publically available data has been an issue with personal rights, hopefully it becomes easier to opt out for those that care, but it's not a new issue, nor one created by AI.

I'll just leave this here [interaktiv.br.de], if you'd like to do further reading.

As it stands right now there are extremely limited ethical use-cases for AI in creative work, and I hope your own research and experience will eventually lead you to better alternatives.

Thanks for engaging, and looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 21 Jun, 2024 @ 5:21am 
I politely decline your offer.

The model(s) I used, are to my knowledge, trained off of CC licensed material. My edits of them also fall under that license/fair-use. This also includes the likeness of Spiffo. By crediting the materials used in the mod, it is giving credit to its sources.

I don't appreciate the implied insults, and given I stated this information in the description, I can only assume you read a single word and don't care for context.

So if you want to debate AI stuff, kindly, take your soap box elsewhere.

A few awful sketches in MS Paint would be a better alternative. If I can offer my services in that department I guess I've put myself forward. It's just that I hate to see the use of AI in creating media when that AI is trained without crediting or compensating the original artists. You as one of PZ's best modders are very much a part of that artistic community. It's a shame that through the use of AI tools you're taking the work of others without credit, though I'm sure you appreciate when other modders credit you properly.

lmao, i didnt expect that response
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] 20 Jun, 2024 @ 9:58am 
Thanks for offering, when can you get started?
Riainonevada 20 Jun, 2024 @ 9:49am 
sorry to see the use of ai by one of project zomboid's most prolific and best mod-creators. Was there no way to collaborate with a real artist in the community to create these cards?
