BalaUI - A set of utilities for creating mods

[pastel shoal]

Website: https://www.balaui.dev/
Source: https://github.com/cozyGalvinism/BalaUI

This is a small web app which allows for easily creating Balatro objects using Steamodded with an easy UI (at the moment jokers and soon™️ also other moddable items like consumables, vouchers etc.
Right now, it's limited to jokers but I plan to add more types as time goes on and add more and more stuff to it to make modding just a little easier!

There might be a few bugs in the initial version, especially with the formatted text display for loc_txt, but I think it's stable enough to be used reasonably.

[arctic star]

this is cool

[pastel shoal]

Thanks!

[mystic helm]

There's something you should be aware of, if perishable and eternal don't have a value they'll default to true iirc

[pastel shoal]

Value as in cost?

[mystic helm]

No like if "perish_compat = false" doesn't exist then perish_compat is true by default

[pastel shoal]

Ah

I see

I'll make them true by default as well then

[mystic helm]

So whether you set "perish_compat = true" or nothing it will be true, same for eternal

[pastel shoal]

Fixed!

[shy blade]

we got MCreator equivalent for balatro early 😭

[pastel shoal]

ikr?

[mystic helm]

Is there a reason for variables not being registered in loc_vars yet?

[pastel shoal]

wdym?

I guess I didn't think about to put a stub there

Since usually loc_vars are computed anyways

[rain ocean]

not sure on the use of the name setting either, I'm not sure that's intended to be used

[pastel shoal]

The game uses it to identify some jokers, tbh I use it in the same way for my jokers

-- snip
        if context.using_consumeable and card.ability.name == 'Can Town' and context.consumeable.ability.name == '!addcan' then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                        message = localize{
                            type = 'variable',
                            key = 'a_mult',
                            vars = { cans }
                        },
                        mult_mod = cans * 2
                    })
                    return true
                end
            }))
            -- return {calculated = true}
        end
-- snip

[rain ocean]

it's not necessary in custom jokers though

[pastel shoal]

No and the web app also doesn't make it necessary to be filled (none of the fields really)

[rain ocean]

I was just thinking it might be confusing for new people to have two different name fields and one that doesn't seem to change anything on the output display

[pastel shoal]

Hmm

Yeah actually, I think I confused myself with that yesterday

Wondering why nothing changed

I think I can also reorder and rename the fields in the UI then

To just "Name" and "Description"

[rain ocean]

Yeah I think that would work better

like in your code example there, the card.ability.name is ALWAYS 'Can Town' in that function as it's only ever called on that object anyway

[pastel shoal]

Yeah, true

I don't even know why I put it there, I think I just mimicked the way vanilla does joker calcs

[rain ocean]

Yeah vanilla does it because every card is thrown into the calculate joker tower

But modded ones aren’t, they just have their own function called

[split temple]

yeah names were problematic to keep in Steamodded due to overlaps, and keys had to be decollisioned anyways so we just stuck with that

So while name isn't fully redundant due to being used in vanilla, it's to be disregarded

[shy blade]

btw personally we shouldnt be encouraging putting loc_txts directly to the main lua files

like if there are new mods i truly hope they use the new method

[split temple]

right, this is also something I need to concern myself with for the wiki

[shy blade]

🫡🙏

[pastel shoal]

So what is the right way to do it?

[shy blade]

lua files in YourMod/localization, with language codes as their names like en-us.lua, fr.lua, etc.

you can check lobotomy corp and d6 jokers' repo for examples

[pastel shoal]

Hmm... wondering how exactly to display that on the page tbh

Maybe a zip download?

Because having multiple code previews will confuse people

[shy blade]

yea maybe. and you can make the default name default.lua. and yes default.lua works as a default language file, a fallback (maybe)

[shy blade]

ykw i kinda wanna suggest an individual tool for mod localizing

[pastel shoal]

I will add that too

It's in my planned features

[shy blade]

this is gonna be a bless

[pastel shoal]

Looks like this in the Joker creator atm

why isn't localization done via JSON anyways?

Oh well

Would be a lot easier to parse tbh

[shy blade]

ikr

if its in json i can just straight upload the loc files to lokalise then here we go

[pastel shoal]

I mean, I guess we could have both, if the file ends in lua, load via Lua, if the file ends in json, parse with JSON and load like Lua

Maybe I'll try and make a PR for Steamodded later

Depends on how much time I have

[shy blade]

thanks in advance 🙏

[pastel shoal]

[mystic helm]

is the site down?

[pastel shoal]

No, shouldn't be

Unless GH is having issues

[south cloak]

turn off your dark mode

[pastel shoal]

(since it's GH Pages)

[mystic helm]

Ooooh

Yea that did the trick lol

[pastel shoal]

I wonder if I can add dark mode compat somehow

[mystic helm]

Ok so like, what I meant earlier with loc_vars is that, in order for the #1# to change, it needs to fetch said data in loc_vars in this example here I'm getting the number from the joker config. Is it something you considered the user should do itself or just missed out on it?

[pastel shoal]

The way I understood it was that you use loc_vars if you have variables that can change during gameplay. If you don't have that (for example your joker always gives +4 Mult), you can just hardcode that into the description. I can add a simple return like return { vars = { '4' } } and a comment before that saying "calculate variables here" or something like that

[mystic helm]

Yea but magic number is bad practice

[pastel shoal]

I guess the tool is pretty much meant as a starting point, I can add that to the loc_vars function, but I won't be able to do the same for calculate, since there's no way for me to write that

If you have a suggestion for how the loc_vars function might be implemented better for new users, I'd be open to that too

[mystic helm]

Yea I can kinda understand for calculate, the way I saw is that maybe you could let variable have a key and value, and put said key and value inside the "return { vars = {extra = {..." in loc_vars as well as in "config = {..."

So for example I could have a variable named "mult" which is 4, so it will add the line config = {extra = {mult = 4}}, and return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}} inside "loc_vars"

Ofc you'd keep the #n# fetching the variable value too.

[pastel shoal]

Ahhhh now I understand

Yeah okay, I'll add that

[mystic helm]

Oh also, unlocked is true by default if it doesn't exists

[split temple]

I mean that's not a bad idea, I just stuck to conventions the game set for itself

[pastel shoal]

👀

I'll create a PR

PR created! Hopefully it gets merged :D

[pastel shoal]

peak comedy

[pastel shoal]

Not pushed yet

[mystic helm]

Neat!

[pastel shoal]

Pushed!

Thinking about it, isn't discovered also true by default?

[mystic helm]

I saw, why not make the the "Locale" parameter a selector between each possible entry instead of having to look it up and write it?

[mystic helm]

Nope

[pastel shoal]

Ah

Couldn't you technically translate the entire game to add a new translation and therefore a new locale?

But if not, what are the possible entries then?

[mystic helm]

Yea if there's a custom language translated it will have to be done manually

[pastel shoal]

That's... an interesting list of locales

Some have _ some have -

Some only have the language part

[mystic helm]

Also this feels silly

[pastel shoal]

Yeah, that's default flex behavior

Need to shrink it

[mystic helm]

Sometime I click on the empty area by accident and I wonder where the line went

[pastel shoal]

Yeah, I'll quickly patch that

[pastel shoal]

Are those literally the locale names?

[mystic helm]

The only files in the localization folder so yup

[pastel shoal]

Okay, gotcha

Right patched and dropdown implemented

[pastel shoal]

Gonna add that

Or rather push that

So you can share your jokers

That's quite cool

The long url is funky

[dark steppe]

Very cool!

[shy blade]

oh and just came to mind that, dont forget to especially mention Avoid Hardcoding Displayed Texts. this can be EXTREMELY annoying

[pastel shoal]

Right, gonna work on consumables today

[pastel shoal]

Still some more work to do but

Really good that I turned everything into components, barely have to write any code

Aaaaaand I think that's done

[pastel shoal]

v0.2.0 is out now with the consumable editor

https://cozygalvinism.github.io/BalaUI/consumable?code=eyJrZXkiOiJoaWVyb3BoYW50Z3JlZW4iLCJzZXQiOiJUYXJvdCIsImxvY05hbWUiOiJIaWVyb3BoYW50IEdyZWVuIiwibG9jVGV4dCI6IkRvZXMgYW4ge0M6Z3JlZW59RW1lcmFsZCBTcGxhc2giLCJjb3N0IjowLCJwb3NYIjowLCJwb3NZIjowLCJhdGxhcyI6IiIsInVubG9ja2VkIjp0cnVlLCJkaXNjb3ZlcmVkIjpmYWxzZSwiaGlkZGVuIjpmYWxzZSwic291bFNldCI6IlNwZWN0cmFsIiwic291bFJhdGUiOjAuMDAzLCJjYW5SZXBlYXRTb3VsIjpmYWxzZSwicHJldmlld1ZhcmlhYmxlcyI6W10sImxvY2FsaXphdGlvbiI6W119

[pastel shoal]

So I tried adding metadata but Discord isn't displaying it yet. Ideadlly it should show the name and description of the joker (without formatting) but oh well

[dark steppe]

Yo that looks sick

No cap, you're making me wanna learn lua just to make mods.

[pastel shoal]

Glad you like it!

[pastel shoal]

Working on providing i18n support for the site now, since there are so many locales for the game

Also that way, I don't hardcode a specific language

[shy blade]

BRUH i literally just about to say that i forked the repo and started doing locale

[pastel shoal]

xD

Well, better sooner than later

The later I do it, the more I will have to change in the application

[shy blade]

so itd be better to have a per-lang font support bc zh/kr/jp dont use m4x11plus

[pastel shoal]

Yeah

Because language itself is easy

Font might be tricky

[shy blade]

yea

[pastel shoal]

Looks excessive, probably is

[shy blade]

little suggestion: {format:format} doesnt actually require a {} to close it if:
"{C:attention}the line ends"
but now it has problem displaying it correctly

[pastel shoal]

Wait, formatting only lasts until the end of the line?

[rain ocean]

yup

it's parsed line by line so it resets formatting each time

[pastel shoal]

sigh

I'll fix that some time later

[split temple]

Also {} isn't any sort of close tag, it also just resets the formatting

you can just as well stuff some other things in there

"{C:attention}One color {C:green}and another"

[pastel shoal]

That I know

But the reset by line thing is something I haven't considered before

[shy blade]

a variable cant be used more than once in the desc?

[pastel shoal]

That should work

huh

It doesn't

Odd

I'll patch that

[shy blade]

i'll prolly send random thoughts here when using it but just so you know none of them means to hurry

[pastel shoal]

That's fine!

[shy blade]

this one might be tricky but here are examples in mods like cryptid:
support for custom color and custom rarity, and a color picker to help with it.
i know its wild and im sorry

but since we are still implementing basic features this would def be a low-priority thing

[pastel shoal]

i18n support is pushed

Still need to figure out how to do the fonts though

I'd say if you add translation for a language that requires a font, add it to the fonts dir, add a custom CSS class and I'll think of a way to apply it depending on the locale

[pastel shoal]

Yeah, I'd love to add that

It's gonna be on the waiting list though

[pastel shoal]

Should be up and fixed in a minute

[pastel shoal]

Also added a German translation

nobody:
literally nobody:
consumable in german:

[shy blade]

below-average long german word:

[pastel shoal]

My best guess why it IS Verbrauchsgegenstand is because it's a machine translation. I think a better translation would be something like "Verbräuchliches"

Which would pretty much be a 1:1 translation

[split temple]

that or "Verbrauchbares"

[pastel shoal]

Yeah, that sounds simpler actually

[pastel shoal]

Playing around with Vercel for deployment

https://balaui.vercel.app/joker?code=eyJrZXkiOiJyZXBsYWNlX21lIiwicmFyaXR5IjoxLCJkaXNjb3ZlcmVkIjpmYWxzZSwidW5sb2NrZWQiOnRydWUsImF0bGFzIjoiIiwicG9zWCI6MCwicG9zWSI6MCwibG9jTmFtZSI6IkhlbGxvIERpc2NvcmQiLCJsb2NUZXh0Ijoie0M6bXVsdH0rNHt9IE11bHQiLCJjb3N0IjowLCJibHVlcHJpbnRDb21wYXQiOmZhbHNlLCJldGVybmFsQ29tcGF0Ijp0cnVlLCJwZXJpc2hhYmxlQ29tcGF0Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmV2aWV3VmFyaWFibGVzIjpbXSwibG9jYWxpemF0aW9uIjpbXX0=

Preview works there since SSR is enabled

(ssr being server-side rendering)

GH Pages can't do that since the entire app runs as a single page, so it cannot display dynamic content inside the static page (which is needed for meta tags)

[pastel shoal]

Right, I changed the hosting to Vercel now since it also integrates better with SvelteKit!

Which also means: new URL: https://www.balaui.dev/

This one's more permanent though

[weak galleon]

You know what would be really cool (but probably really hard to add)

a way to make menu UI visually to turn it into code that you can use in a mod

I would use that for like every menu I create

[frosty kraken]

Hiya, really appreciate someone making a utility like this

was wondering if parts of the code not updating like name and description is a known WIP issue or if it's just being weird on my end

[pastel shoal]

That's because name and description are instead added to localization files... I think I should probably still add it to the preview or make a preview per file

Didn't really think of that tbh

If you download the mod as zip, you can see the localization folder

[frosty kraken]

oh, duh
yeah now I've downloaded it I see

[pastel shoal]

It's a bit difficult to show multiple files because they take up so much space on the page

[frosty kraken]

yeah I wouldn't worry, it's just me being the perfect idiot proof tester lmao
like maybe a line of text above saying the lua below doesn't show everything like name and desc would be worth adding

[pastel shoal]

Yeah

I'm looking into adding more code previews somehow... or put them all in a pop up with a guide or something

[rain ocean]

Is there a way to add the different files as tabs?

[pastel shoal]

🤔

Never tried it but

I think I can make that

A tabview

[frosty kraken]

mhm
I'd say the main two things that imo are missing rn is if you could highlight text and auto add the different text changers in descriptions like {C:inactive}, {C:money} etc
and having preset variables, like if Name was a dropdown list of all the base game options like Mult, Chips etc and then a Custom option at the bottom if that's still needed

[rain ocean]

It’ll keep the space the same and probably be fairly intuitive for people to notice there’s more than one file

Variables don’t have any preset options, they can be named anything, that’s the point of them, no?

[frosty kraken]

I thought mult and chips were global variables

could be wrong, I'm still green to modding this game

[pastel shoal]

afaik, they're just config values that vanilla cards use

And for mods, I kinda assumed that it's good practice if they used extra and stored their variables in there

like that

I mean in general, it doesn't quite matter anyways

[rain ocean]

Storing in extra is preferable, yeah

[pastel shoal]

You still need to add them to loc_vars

And to display them you still need to apply the placeholders

And lastly you'll need to calculate the cards as well

So in the grand scheme of things, I don't think the name of variables matters

Or rather the location

[frosty kraken]

the split between basic funtions being carried out in config and more specific conditions being done in calculate still throws me for a loop

like "if card is spade then add mult 4"

[rain ocean]

Nothing is done in config

[pastel shoal]

^

Everything is done in calculate

Or use

(for consumables)

You basically need to tell the game what should happen, because you might as well want to add custom effects to a basic card ^^

[frosty kraken]

idk why this is one game that I still just don't get the modding fundamentals for lmao

[rain ocean]

There’s just not a lot of documentation at the moment so you kind of have to just figure it out yourself

[pastel shoal]

config is pretty much just a blueprint for actual cards where you define default values for the state of the card, it gets copied into card.ability, where the game (or you) can change the state freely

You can kind of imagine it as a way to define custom fields on the card

Here's an example:

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'cantown',
    name = 'Can Town',
    rarity = 4,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'myatlas',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 10,
    config = { extra = { cans = 0 } },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Can Town',
        text = {
            'This Joker gains {C:mult}+2 Mult{}',
            'for every Can {C:attention}added{}.',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}#1#{C:inactive} #2#)'
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local can_word = 'Cans'
        local cans = card.ability.extra.cans
        if cans == 1 then
            can_word = 'Can'
        end
        return { vars = { cans, can_word } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local cans = card.ability.extra.cans

        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and cans > 0 then
            return {
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_mult',
                    vars = { cans * 2 }
                },
                mult_mod = cans
            }
        end
    end
}

Although this doesn't use config

There we go

This basically adds a joker called Can Town to the game. If you buy the joker, it starts out with 0 cans. You can increase or decrease the cans in any way you want (for that specific joker, I actually increase it every time you use a certain consumable)

[rain ocean]

#💻・modding-dev message
You can also look at this resource, a number of vanilla jokers converted into modded format as examples

[pastel shoal]

But in the scoring phase, the only thing that tells the game what should happen is this:

return {
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_mult',
                    vars = { cans * 2 }
                },
                mult_mod = cans
            }

[rain ocean]

Shouldn’t that be mult_mod = cans * 2?

[pastel shoal]

Yeah

[frosty kraken]

I just kinda suck at internalizing raw code and implementing it myself honestly
bethesda stuff and mario 64 which are my main modding games have a lot of 3D realtime visual feedback
a blank lua page even tho everything just being text should be easier just ends up feeling like

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-lets-see-how-it-looks-the-gif-7996276

[rain ocean]

You just have to keep reloading the game!

Use save states and it’s actually pretty quick

[pastel shoal]

^ that pretty much... you end up closing and reopening the game a lot

[frosty kraken]

this has a lot of dev notes which looks promising, thanks will def read this

[pastel shoal]

I wish there was a hot reload options for mods "indev"

[split temple]

uh

we just got rid of that

well it's always been broken tbf

[pastel shoal]

I don't think we could reload specific mods, right? Since they're all loaded at the beginning of the game and stuff

[split temple]

you were able to reload all mods by holding M or disabling/enabling a mod

[pastel shoal]

I guess reloading is a big issue for any dynamic system... I remember the hell that broke loose when you reloaded Bukkit plugins

Some were fine, others just shat the bed

[split temple]

but it didn't properly reset the environment because it can't deal with modules in global scope

basically it would work fine so long as you don't modify any functions :/

[pastel shoal]

Ah gotcha... hmm... I suppose there's no way to create a snapshot of the game's entire state before any mods are loaded and just... reset it to that state

[split temple]

not really

[frosty kraken]

ok this helped get my first proper functioning card in the game finally

[pastel shoal]

Made a tab view

Better

Perhaps I should turn this into a component

[pastel shoal]

presto!

Although technically

Now that we have JSON localization support

I can make this even easier

Looks kinda wonky

[pastel shoal]

Kinda goes wonky on 2 locales already

huzzah!

Right, localization is now switched to JSON entirely

Just got a great idea! The share codes could be used to combine multiple jokers etc into a single mod

So technically, I could just add a "project manager", which really just lets you fill out the mod information, then you enter a list of share codes and it will show you what jokers, consumables etc you would add and let you download that

And the best part: It'd still all be client-side

[pastel shoal]

Tabs are now live!

I will add compression for the share codes to make them shorter

Or at least try to

[pastel shoal]

Well, I managed to reduce the character size a little bit but not much

I dunno if that's worth it

[pastel shoal]

Voucher creator is now in!

If this voucher doesnt make me happy Ill find you irl

[pastel shoal]

[pastel shoal]

I'm on vacation at the moment by the way, so I'll check out the post here some time during next week

[pastel shoal]

I am back and I will start working on the deck creator today

After that, we're gonna get into the atlas builder

And then, hopefully, a fully fledged mod builder

(without functions, obviously)

[shy blade]

finally we'll need an AI pro to train a model based off all mods available to generate calculations from prompts and start scamming ppl with 5 tiers of premium plans

[pastel shoal]

don't spoil my plans

[shy blade]

WOAH LMAO

Can't wait for the ad playing before you can copy or download the mod x)

Remember the old adfly pages?

YOUR MOD IS ALMOST READY ... 38 SECONDS..

[pastel shoal]

Add an artificial progress bar, which stops at 90% and then asks if you want to buy premium for faster mod downloads

Honestly I'd kinda be tempted to make this as an April Fools thing

lowkey cant wait

I would be very interested to see how you implement a mod builder into this. Would it just be building the header?

[pastel shoal]

Nah, it'd allow you to input the share codes of jokers, vouchers etc, ask for mod name, mod ID etc and then let you download that package

So you'd end up being able to build the entire mod on that site (minus images because that would actually result in me having to host images and I'm not gonna deal with that)

Maybe I could allow image links

So it would download the images from said links and put them in asset folders

[rain ocean]

Interesting

[abstract snow]

oh this is quite the useful tool

god bless

[pastel shoal]

Almost done

Need to do the localization for the new nav item

But after that

I think it should be ready

Deck creator is now live

[crisp sky]

Need tutorial actually

[pastel shoal]

What for specifically?

[crisp sky]

No disregard what I said

[pastel shoal]

Fair enough

Time to add the image scaler and atlas builder

Dunno exactly how yet

But I'll figure something out

[pastel shoal]

Image scaling works, now trying to see how to best add the atlas builder itself

Once I'm done with this, I'll see if I can add a good localization editor

[fast geyser]

oh nice

are you using canvas for this?

[pastel shoal]

No, sharp

I found that to be working quite nicely at the moment

[fast geyser]

oh is it a backend thing?

[pastel shoal]

sharp is only used on the server-side, though it could see complications when deploying (since libvips is required)

Yeah

[fast geyser]

makes sense

[pastel shoal]

Alternatively, I could write a small WASM binary to resize and build the atlas

[fast geyser]

was thinking it was frotend only

[pastel shoal]

That could run directly in the browser

But we'll see how well this works

[fast geyser]

I think cavas's api is good enough for this job

I've used it in the past but that was years ago

but you should just be able to make the canvas the right sizw for your atlas and then load the images and just stick them on there

and there was a script somewhere to reaize usinf nearest neighbor for the 2x

[fiery basalt]

oh my god, there's a german translation for the site too?

[pastel shoal]

Yup

Provided by yours truly

Right now it's controlled by the PC's configured locale
