Custom Challenge Loading Mod (Balamod)

[teal charm]

Do you want to experiment with writing and distributing custom challenges without making a mod each time?

With this mod you can simply write lua files to generate the challenge without having to worry about how to inject it. You can also disable/reenable this mod to reload the challenges, meaning you can make changes and quickly iterate.

Sharing challenges is much easier too, simply send a single lua file and direct them to place it in challenges/ next to their mods and apis folder.

See the challenge_loader/challenges/ directory for some examples

Will be in the balamod "store" soon.

Because of the way unlocked challenges are calculated I don't recommend using this on a profile with normal progression, as you may end up with some vanilla challenges locked (though this is not a permanant issue and goes away if you disable the mod)

maybe this is a silly question, but how do you install it?

nvm, I'm just dense. I figured it out.

Did you figure out installing challenges?

Aha, just figured it out too. For people struggling like I did, the issue is that there is more than one potential mod loader for Balatro. The only mod loader this is for is Balamod; the first mod loader I found was Steamodded.

Ah mod loader issues. I do have balamod in the title for this post

yeah, my issue was putting the right file in the right place.
