Hi guys, is there already a Playstation buttons display that could be applied to the game, instead of the XBOX buttons display ?

Thanks !!

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

is this for a console edition?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

no, just for people that are playing with a playstation controller on pc

#

or a switch pro controller, idk

#

but just be able to somehow switch between controller displays

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

i will look into it

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

thanks !

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

You dont see it? the game already has textures for ps controller ui. Maybe the game does not recognise you controller as a ps one? How do you connect the controller? A quick fix would be to just copy the ps ui into the xbox textures in the game

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

I have a ps4 controller and a switch pro controller. I just plug both of them with bluetooth. When one has to be charged, i play with the other. I run DS4W to play games

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

Yeah i think ds4 emulates xbox controller actions

#

I can try walk you through swapping the texture?

#

As a temp fix

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:29 PM

#

yea why not

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

Alr have 7zip?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

y

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

locate the exe

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

1 sec

#

sorry im back

#

can you open the exe as archive with 7zip

#

inside: resources>textures>1x

#

and show me the gamepad_ui.png

#

To check if it looks the same as what I have

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

right

#

so just in that folder

#

throw in

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

oh i see

#

clever

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

then leave that folder go into 2x and add

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

i'll name the other one backup

#

uh

#

doesnt seem to be right sadly

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

you could change some specific line in the code to always use ps but i dont have access to the game so that would be more difficult lol. For future use, try connecting the controller to steam itself as a ps one, i think steam can tell the game the correct gamepad type even if its emulated as a different one, again i cant help with this as i dont have the game

#

what happens?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

i can't screen it but

#

it displays both square and triangle

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

I didnt see any icons there lol

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

yea

#

when i push print screen it's fading away because it thinks i'm playing with the keyboard

#

i'm trying to trick it

#

got it

#

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

yeah i think you switch the 2 textures i sent and put them in the wrond folders

#

go into the graphics setting

#

and change the pixel art smoothing option

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

ok that works

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

yeah maybe you used the the higher res texture in the 1x folder

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

oh i see what i did

#

i paste the same on both

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

the earlier img i sent is the smaller one

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

anyway, thanks a lot

#

it feels more enjoyable like that

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

again this should be a temp fix, i think it mmight not work if you update the game (youd have to reapply the 'patch'), so id look into connecting controller with steam, assuming you are using a cable

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

i'm not

#

only bluetooth

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

ah then idk if that would connect, youll have to experiment xD

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

and the steam input thing is a bit bad with some games so i don't use it and only use ds4

#

i'll do the trick everytime then

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

got it, atleast if works for now 😅 enjoy

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

thanks men

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:06 PM

#

ok ive made the mod

#

have you got it running decompiled?

#

anyway here are the installation instructions

create a mods folder in the Balatro directory
inside mods folder create a file called manifest.txt and give it the contents

SpeltIncorrectylButtonControl

inside mod folder create a folder called SpeltIncorrectylButtonControl
inside SpeltIncorrectylButtonControlFolder create a file called mod.lua with contents

local mod = {}

function G.UIDEF.settings_tab_patched(tab)
    local ui = G.UIDEF.settings_tab_old(tab)

    if tab == "Graphics" and G.CONTROLLER.GAMEPAD_CONSOLE ~= "" then
        table.insert(ui.nodes, create_option_cycle({w = 4,scale = 0.8, label = "Controller Graphics",options = {"Xbox", "Playstation", "Nintendo"}, opt_callback = 'change_gamepad', current_option = G.CONTROLLER.GAMEPAD_CONSOLE == "Xbox" and 1 or (G.CONTROLLER.GAMEPAD_CONSOLE == "Playstation" and 2 or 3)}))
    end

    return ui
end

function G.FUNCS.change_gamepad(args)
    G.CONTROLLER.GAMEPAD_CONSOLE = args.to_key == 1 and "Xbox" or (args.to_key == 2 and "Playstation" or "Nintendo")
end

function mod.patch()
    -- monkey patch in the new function
    G.UIDEF.settings_tab_old = G.UIDEF.settings_tab
    G.UIDEF.settings_tab = G.UIDEF.settings_tab_patched
end

return mod

patch in the mod loader by pasting in this code snippet into the love.load method in main.lua

-- patch
local mod_paths = love.filesystem.read("mods/manifest.txt")
for mod_path in mod_paths:gmatch("[^\n]+") do
    local mod = require("mods/" .. mod_path .. "/mod")
    mod.patch()
end

it should look like this:

#

i can just provide zipped mods folder otherwise

#

📎 mods.zip

#

you still need to patch the main.lua though if you use the zipped file

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

what do you mean decompiled

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

how did you change the graphics

#

did you extract the Balatro.exe and then run it again

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

i went to the exe with 7zip and changed a picture by another

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

we did it the lazy way lol

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

how did you run it again

#

you can just edit it like that?

#

huh

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

seems like we can

#

it's running without any issues

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

anyway do that thing except instead drag in the unzipped mods folder

#

and edit the main.lua

#

you should see in Options > Settings > Graphics a new option for changing the controller graphics (if your controller is connected)

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

patch in the mod loader by pasting in this code snippet into the love.load method in main.lua

#

you lost me there

#

where is the love.load method

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

open the file called main.lua

#

scroll down till you see this text

#

insert the code snippet under G:start_up()

-- patch
local mod_paths = love.filesystem.read("mods/manifest.txt")
for mod_path in mod_paths:gmatch("[^\n]+") do
    local mod = require("mods/" .. mod_path .. "/mod")
    mod.patch()
end

#

if you cant edit files in the archive copy main.lua, edit it then replace it

#

it should look like this when done

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:29 PM

#

oh main is in the game exe

#

ok

#

game crash

#

now

#

i don't think i did something wrong

#

i prefer the old fashion lazy way.. balatrojoker

idle plank Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

Some people reported the game corrupting sometimes randomly when adding stuff with 7zip

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

what is crashh report

#

did it have an error screen or did it silently crash

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

error screen

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

what does it say

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

you most likley got the mods folder wrong

#

you put the manifest.txt inside the mods folder?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

i pasted your folder

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

and its unzipped and called mods?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

#

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

its meant to be inside Balatro.exe

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

ah

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

if you cant just put it in then give up and use the graphics switch method

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

it's in

#

and it's working well

#

thanks mate

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

can you see the settings?

#

and change the controller graphics in it?

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

yep

#

and i can

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

ok great!

#

im gonna be honest i dont have a controller so i didnt test it

#

its good to hear it works

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

#

it's almost working finally

#

every time you leave the window (alt tab f.ex) it's getting resetted to slot 1

#

wich is xbox

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

oof

#

just use the graphics switch

#

switch the textures

#

the mod is setting the value but i suspect the game overwrites it with what it thinks the gamepad is when you close the menu

craggy quest Feb 20, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

alright, that'll do the trick fine for now

#

thanks a lot for trying

#

really nice of you

ebon ridge Feb 20, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

no problem

limpid ocean Feb 21, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

So it's been confirmed to be in the work? I mostly plan to play it on my Steam Deck with a Dualsense controller so texture change isn't an option.

ebon ridge Feb 21, 2024, 8:55 AM

#

I can have another look at it

idle plank Feb 21, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

as an update to before: the game shows correct icons when you connect a ps controller through steam steam on a cable, but connecting through bt strips it of the ps controller type, hence the wrong icons. I dont think there is a fix for that unfortunately

limpid ocean Feb 21, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

If wired works yeah, classic PlayStation poor support for pc gaming. What a shame considering how good i think the dualsense is... first gen I prefer ps over xbox for controller.

DSX now has a dlc to emulate dualsense over wireless but only via dlc so I didnt tested it.

Otherwise, getting a 10' wire on amazon is my best bet. That is what I do for a while. Got bunch of amazon basic wires for less than $10 haha

idle plank Feb 21, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

I would asume a part of that is microsoft prefering easy support on xbox controllers

limpid ocean Feb 23, 2024, 1:19 AM

#

Nothing is blocking PlayStation not enabling all via Bluetooth. They just don't seems much to care sadly. Glad at least many games are at least allowing sualsense natively (with steam input disabled)

fiery ibex Feb 24, 2024, 6:24 AM

#

craggy quest

I don't get why this is STILL not standard in games

#

to just manually pick your controller icons

quartz shore Feb 27, 2024, 12:24 AM

#

Also don’t know if it’s been pointed out but just found out you can “trick” the game into keeping the PlayStation icons. All you do is start the game with disabled steam input. Then enable the steam input and the game will keep the icons while allowing you whatever configuration profile you have. I did find the icons might occasionally very quickly flash back to the Xbox/Steam ones but always goes back to PlayStation.

quartz shore Mar 4, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Anyone else figure out how to make this a lua file mod? My trick isn't quite working anymore :/

quartz shore Mar 6, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

ebon ridge I can have another look at it

Hi! Wasn’t sure if you’d found an easier method to get that icon switching menu option permanent via a mod file? Turning off steam input doesn’t fix it anymore :/ any help appreciated!

ebon ridge Mar 6, 2024, 9:30 PM

Tbh I’ve stopped looking into Balatro modding

No worries! I know it takes time and all. I’ll see if I can’t figure it out 🙂

quartz shore Hi! Wasn’t sure if you’d found an easier method to get that icon switching menu ...

Did you find a way to still show playstation icons? It doesn’t work for me anymore either with my PS4 controller :/

quartz shore Mar 9, 2024, 12:33 AM

#

foggy dew Did you find a way to still show playstation icons? It doesn’t work for me anymo...

Sadly no…tbh I’ve never really coded before and I’ve only got a steam deck so doing some things in Linux is very complicated. I can’t even inject my own exe with steamodded lol if I happen to figure something out though I’ll ping you back!
someone did get vibrations for controller working though so that’s a plus! #1214561899014918165 message

#

foggy dew Did you find a way to still show playstation icons? It doesn’t work for me anymo...

You did it in the game settings itself and not steam input general settings? As game settings override them. It still show mine fine here, kinda weird.

foggy dew Mar 17, 2024, 10:48 PM

#

limpid ocean You did it in the game settings itself and not steam input general settings? As ...

No matter what I try it doesn’t work :/ if I disable steam input it works, but shows xbox controls. If I enable steam input, it just won’t work at all
