ModMgr: A balatro mod manager

[cunning veldt]

NOTE: currently only supports Steamodded mods.
NOTE: Github downloads directly clone the branch, and does not download releases, since release querying requires the API.

(you have to hit ENTER in the URL box to load the mod info when adding new mods)

Requires Python 3.8+ with tkinter support.

[ionic sky]

any elaboration?

[cunning veldt]

this is the interface

everything should be self-explanatory

except maybe that you have to hit ENTER in the URL box to load the mod info when adding new mods

[lilac quarry]

do you run it from within your Mods foldr?

[cunning veldt]

from anywhere

[lilac quarry]

ah fancy, for python

[cunning veldt]

I just query os.getenv("APPDATA")

[ionic sky]

okay you shouldn propably give precise insctructions IN the top message

[lilac quarry]

hmm, might not work at all on linux then

saying that Wine isn't global, especially not proton

[cunning veldt]

if you run the python file within the wine env I think you'd be fine

gtg, I'll test it on my Arch linux when I have time

[lilac quarry]

well I'd have to run it with Proton somehow I think which ought to be possible

wine prefizes and all

[cunning veldt]

replace balatro.exe with a cross-compiled EXE file that launches CMD

or just find the original wine CMD file and drop it in there

anyways gtg

[lilac quarry]

if I decide to try it out, I'm sue I'll figure out something

thanks for the help regardless :3

[stray snow]

This looks promising but unfortunately will not help me since I use my android phone to manage my modpacks : )

@cunning veldt would you mind if i used your code for a project of mine?

[cunning veldt]

sure

what is it

(Also, a few days ago I realized the modmgr doesn't put the steamodded mods in the correct folder, so you might need to fix that)

cuz now I was using an extra nested folder name to store metadata

[warped lava]

i thought i needed it, but nvm. im figuring it out, im making an oiutside tool built on python forhttps://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1280991980574216192

[cunning veldt]

a, interesting

I had a scratch-like interface for the seed searcher

but that project was using very crappy old code

and was basically scrapped

the interface had type-checking, block nesting and dropdowns support

looked like this

[warped lava]

if you wouldve told me that i couldve used that for the base!

[cunning veldt]

it's all C++

and had infinity errors

that were probably just silenced

[warped lava]

still can you send me the github?

[cunning veldt]

I'm completely rewriting it but don't have much time recently

[cunning veldt]

in Baseed you can find the searcher

not sure if the exe even still runs lol

[warped lava]

ill try implmenting the code, maybe c++ is better, i was trying to use python but c++ might have better features

[cunning veldt]

this was published when I took a break from modding in September last year

[cunning veldt]

C++ is much harder to learn and I used OpenGL

which is like writing C on the GPU

[warped lava]

i use ai for most of the code and fix what i can

[cunning veldt]

like basic C++ is easy but I use a lot of advanced features

not sure if AI can even comprehend the code

[warped lava]

it can, youd be surprised

[cunning veldt]

like a lot of real C++ professionals don't fully understand everything

about C++

and they still learn something new each day

[cunning veldt]

https://github.com/00001H/GLpygame
this is also a dependency for compilation

[warped lava]

still ai works with a database, so it doesnt comprehend the code but it can make it functional

[cunning veldt]

along with this I think

[cunning veldt]

https://godbolt.org/z/f1EadG3dE

this code I wrote
I bet AI can't fully understand
it can probably guess what it does but can't explain how it works(and therefore can't fix any bugs that might hypothetically be there)

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/11548
nobody dared touch that issue I filed against the IDE for misdetecting this spaghetti

[warped lava]

also, you do know scratch source code is open software right? it uses blockly and the whole source is in thier github

so you could look into that

[cunning veldt]

yes

[warped lava]

oh

[cunning veldt]

but like I do graphics programming mainly around computer game design

and I've really only touched OpenGL

and am learning Vulkan

[warped lava]

hmm, i see

[cunning veldt]

Blockly has built-in codegen so I assume it wouldn't be that hard

[warped lava]

thats what i thought but its sorta annoying for me to setup

[warped lava]

do you have the git clone for this?

[cunning veldt]

not on github unfortunately

cuz it was just a zip of my local working folders that weren't public on github for it was when public modding wasn't allowed

[warped lava]

i see, would you mind if i uploaded this to a private github page for use?

[cunning veldt]

that's completely fine

My guess is that you want to submodule right

or intergrate it in some sort of CI/auto build

[warped lava]

im not sure what that is, gemini and other ai's i use require a link and a webpage since they cant read most files

[cunning veldt]

ah

wait

if your github is private

how can the AI--

[warped lava]

ill try, if its a gitclone it might work no?

as i sayed im sorta new to this stuff

[cunning veldt]

I think you need login credentials which is more spaghetti and AI probably doesn't support

it's probably fine if you credit me and just public it on github

[warped lava]

then ill do that

whats your github?

[cunning veldt]

here

[cunning veldt]

[warped lava]

alright

[quiet wind]

Made a slight edit that doesn't hardcode the dir for any Linux users. Potentially could make a dir to select folder later on since this already uses TKinter

just edit the line with dir and I think it should be good?

@lilac quarry sorry for ping but this fixes the getenv issue

[quiet wind]

Idk while testing this program too it's not bad but like
