Mods

[SimpleDioney]

Would there be any options to add mods to the game? I tried installing steamodded, however, the apk does not recognize the modifications, only the button appears.

[blake502]

It's theoretically possible, but quite tricky. The issues is that Steamodded expects mods at %appdata%\Balatro\Mods, which would translate to /sdcard/Android/data/com.unofficial.balatro/files/save/game/Mods or /data/data/com.unofficial.balatro/files/save/Mods on Android.
If you can find a way to reliably modify those directories, I'm open to hearing about it. My tests with ADB have been mostly unsuccessful.

It seems Steamodded uses a library called nativefs which allows Löve2d to access files and folders outside the save directory. A simple solution would be to modify the SMODS.MODS_DIR field after the mod loader installer injects its code and set it to a more accessible folder (for example, something like /storage/emulated/0/Steamodded/)

To make such a change the AndroidManifest also probably needs the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE flags.

Now that I can reliably modify the save directory (thanks again TheCatRiX), I'm open to looking into this-- but it's low priority for me at the moment. Given the info from @PGgamer2's comment though, it may be trickier than I initially expected. I'm not even sure whether nativefs support Android-- there doesn't seem to be any mention of platform on the readme.

I was able to get mods working by just copying them to the Mods directory under the com.unofficial.balatro data directory:

$ adb shell mkdir -p /data/local/tmp/balatro/files/save/game/Mods
$ adb push Mods/. /data/local/tmp/balatro/files/save/game/Mods/
$ adb shell run-as com.unofficial.balatro find
.
./cache
./cache/game.love
./cache/oat_primary
./cache/oat_primary/arm64
./cache/oat_primary/arm64/base.art
./code_cache
./shared_prefs
./files
./files/save
./files/save/game
./files/save/game/settings.jkr
./files/save/game/1
./files/save/game/1/meta.jkr
./files/save/game/1/save.jkr
./files/save/game/1/profile.jkr
./files/save/game/Mods
./files/save/game/Mods/FoldButton.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/milckqol.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/quickrestart_steamodded.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/EscapeExitButton.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/FlushHotkeys-scrollwheel.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/Rumble.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/AchievementsEnabler.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/DVPreview.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/DVSimulate.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/FasterStakesUnlock.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/FlushHotkeys.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/BetterMouseAndGamepad.lua
./files/save/game/Mods/MoreSpeeds.lua
./files/game
./databases
./no_backup

I've not tested it extensively, but Divvy's preview and MoreSpeeds are working completely fine.

This was made a lot easier by the recent update that also let me push my saves, thanks to the two of you for figuring that out.

In that case, it sounds like beta-0.5.3 and up should automatically support mods without any additional changes?

[surskitt]

Yeah it should already work. I can't confirm, I'm not actually running your program directly since I'm on linux, but the mods should get copied alongside the saves in that step.

[blake502]

In that case, I'm willing to say "Mods are not officially supported, but will probably work" haha.

[CUexter]

i dont know why but if i have some texture pack it doesnt seems to able to read the file, it simply say it does not exist.

[CUexter]

i am just using these 2 mods:

1. https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/13
2. https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/10

Before anyone wastes 10 minutes of time like me, the Mods folder NEEDS to be a capital M, atleast on iOS. Kinda just hit me a little late that its super specific.

So it does work outside of the box or something needs to be done? Should I inject steammoded or just go with the the normal setup?

[CUexter]

yea install steamodded with injectors, lovely is not supported Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
