Handy - QoL controls & keybinds

[fallow nimbus]

ill test using the sticks as cursors now

[royal wren]

It should work, was tested

Weird to see than if you use touchcreen game itself stop thinks that you're on gamepad

[fallow nimbus]

holding left stick and using right as cursor confirmed working

i think it might be because of the game’s native controller support or something

[royal wren]

That's kind of a problem because mod switches to different keys depends on device

[fallow nimbus]

oh and switching from touchscreen to gamepad when you enter the shop crashes for some odd reason but its fine if you reload the game

not sure if thats a handy thing though

[royal wren]

Need to see crash log

[fallow nimbus]

let me send it rq

here

[royal wren]

hm..

Platform: Windows

no SteamOS?

[fallow nimbus]

it says windows probably because of weird steamos proton compatibility jank

that or smods just cant tell the difference, not that there is much of one

[royal wren]

Ok crash caused by my end, it tries to render a gamepad button's sprite for buttons which it have no sprite

I'll fix that, just ignore it

[fallow nimbus]

oof

[royal wren]

dragging cards doesn’t deselect them, but dragging an unselected card selects it
You can find a setting which allows to deselect cards, try it

[fallow nimbus]

oh the dragging selected cards is perfectly fine its just the dragging unselected cards that was janky

[royal wren]

What kind of janky?

[fallow nimbus]

it selects the card when you drag it (but it does still let you drag it)

[royal wren]

It select immediately or after random amount of time/movement?

[fallow nimbus]

selects it immediately

it doesn’t select any other cards while its dragging though which is good

[royal wren]

This happen in 100% cases or random?

[fallow nimbus]

happens consistently for me

[royal wren]

ok, looks like that's what was mentioned in issue long time ago

Have stuff to do with all this information, can we continue a bit later?

I'll add mention of you in credits later

[fallow nimbus]

if i dont fall asleep before then :P

[royal wren]

Take a tea
That's what I'm doing rn

[fallow nimbus]

(over here its 9pm lol)

[royal wren]

2pm only

[lost raptor]

hey, can you send over a template of those tables for localization?

[royal wren]

I'll include this today

[lost raptor]

huh?

[royal wren]

update mod again, now you shouldn't select crad you're trying to drag

This issue was present even in desktop by the way

[fallow nimbus]

thank you sleepy very cool

now i can play The Entire Fucking Deck with ease :)

[royal wren]

Confirm this please

[fallow nimbus]

it does work yeah

[royal wren]

Good

Huge than you for being my test rabbit, or more like test cat

[royal wren]

.

[fallow nimbus]

:)

[royal wren]

And on a free time please test other gamepad controls

And also explore presets

[fallow nimbus]

one thing thats odd is that it doesn’t crash if i’m still on gamepad controls when i enter the shop but if i’m in touch/mouse mode snd i switch to gamepad mode in the shop it crashes
also happens if i switch to touch from gamepad and then switch back

[royal wren]

Yea I know, I'll fix it rn

Actually it shouldn't swap on touches in a first place

I'll make a fix for crash then I'll try to figure out why this happening

[fallow nimbus]

it does that without handy too (but not the crashing part)

[royal wren]

I know, but it's behavious which I don't want to follow

Because mod uses different keybinds depends on device

And when you touch mod thinks that you're using mouse and so change all keybinds to desktop ones

So I want to make touches does not change device at all, keep previous

[fallow nimbus]

i mean. outside of the back button that i binded to the r key im not usually using gamepad controls unless i need to manage way too many jokers
i pretty much always use touch controls :P
would be nice to have a toggle for anyone who wants it though, so we can decide whether we want to keep the quick switch or not

[royal wren]

I can make this but it's like a lazy way to avoid issue

Btw, if you map a keyboard button on gamepad button, what happened?

[fallow nimbus]

steam deck lets me remap buttons to whatever i want, including mapping buttons to keyboard presses for example
so if i map a button to keyboard it’ll act as that key, e.g. mapping one of the back buttons to R so i can quick restart

[royal wren]

So it also changes device to desktop like with touch

[fallow nimbus]

let me check if it does hang on

yeah buttons mapped to keyboard switch it to desktop mode

[royal wren]

Hm, in this case making toggleable auto-detection makes so much sense

We are cooking so hard today

That's it for now. Enjoy gaming

[royal wren]

[hollow pecan]

what should i do if i don't have one

[hollow pecan]

sorry forgot to add picture

[royal wren]

Just start a game, settings by default will be used

[hollow pecan]

wait

thing i was talking about was in cartomancer mod, i typed in completely wrong theme

[royal wren]

It's Cartomancer

[hollow pecan]

yes, sorry

[royal wren]

@fallow nimbus forgot to ask. If you touching setting description, does it shows popup with additional info for you?
Like this one

[fallow nimbus]

yeah it does

[royal wren]

Cool!

[royal wren]

I guess I have a localization file which is good enough for me.

@lost raptor @daring bison if you're still interested in mod translation, now you can confidentially finish it.
Use en-us localization as reference what it should looks like. Changes was made!
Also in en-us localization I added a big list of keybinds which you can localize if needed, with comments.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/tree/gamepad-support

Translations to other languages is welcome too!

[lost raptor]

oh!

Cool, I'll go check it later

[royal wren]

I made a good old buy/sell/use implementation a bit better and more compatible with other mods. I hope it will not crash

Also, other mod's developers can mark which action should Handy execute on card.
Just adding handy_insta_action in button's config defined in G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons is all you need to do.
handy_insta_action = "sell" for mass-sell features or when [Quick buy/sell] is used (aka Shift is hold)
handy_insta_action = "buy_or_sell" when [Quick buy/sell] is used (aka Shift is hold)
handy_insta_action = "use" when [Quick use] is used (aka Ctrl is hold)

I cannot insert every case for this actions manually, so adding ability to other developers should make mod's compatibility wider.

Here's as an example how this can be used

[royal wren]

Currently implemented in this branch, still do testing

[hallow lily]

Sometimes when I press Enter the shop shows up even when not on cash out screen?

[royal wren]

I'll check this

[royal wren]

But money you receive normally, interest and others, all jokers which should trigger works okay?

If Cash Out panel will not appear but all listed things is working fine then it's not a bug

[hallow lily]

No, when I press enter for example when on the blind select screen it takes me to the shop sometimes.

[royal wren]

Okay that's funny

Got it

I'll check tomorrow

[royal wren]

Actually try it in gamepad-support branch, I made a possible fix for it

[royal wren]

Did you check this issue with another branch? Let me know if issue still present

[royal wren]

Hm, what if...

[lost raptor]

me when

[burnt widget]

screenshake to oblivion

[gritty pagoda]

those barons doing some moves

[royal wren]

Added in dev branch (with fixed shaking): https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/tree/gamepad-support

[burnt widget]

peak

[daring bison]

finally, more screenshake...

[lost raptor]

"Raaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH"

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0-pre4

[inner bluff]

Great improvements, and the config menu is looking great.
Just to report a new bug in this version in case you're not aware: cards purchased in shop using the Quick Buy and Use keybind are free and do not cost money. Vouchers and Booster packs are still okay, it's only cards in the top shop area

[royal wren]

Well, that's a result of attempt to optimize button function crawling. For some reason consumable in shop have use button

[royal wren]

Do some debugging with Entropy dev and call it "fixed" after that

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0-pre5

[royal wren]

All this time I was thinking that implementing own animation skip is not necessary because solutions like Saturn, Talisman and Nopeus exist.
But since all of them do it differently and/or not ideally (Saturn have primitive one, Talisman too + by itself have concerns, Nopeus smods-only + mfkaa moment), maybe I should implement own one?

[supple cargo]

Good day

Could someone tell me which version of handy would work for 1304a steammodded version?

[royal wren]

...any?

[royal wren]

You know, why I'm asking if I can just make it?

Here' how it will looks like (WIP)

[narrow mist]

nice

[royal wren]

For that I made separate branch. Still WIP https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/tree/animation-skip

[lost raptor]

:oyes:

[supple cargo]

Heyo

[supple cargo]

Could ya help me find out which version would work for version 1304a of steam modded?

I'd be very grateful

[silk ledge]

Have you tried any of the versions?

[supple cargo]

Yup

Tried the latest one

Look

It says loaded

But

Nothing happens

There's no extra settings

No nothing

Sleepys here

[silk ledge]

Please no asking for help with unofficial versions of the game

[supple cargo]

They would prolly know

This is an official version tho-

[royal wren]

...nope

[supple cargo]

Really?

[royal wren]

Buy a game first, please

[supple cargo]

Okie

[pallid shore]

I love this actually

[royal wren]

If I'm adding own animation skip, I should add a way to "slow down" a game for a moment aswell!
Your Mime always be the most efficient!

[sullen hawk]

Handy's anim skip has evolved to a greater point than Talisman's, bravo

[royal wren]

This is how it looks like

Game wait until keybind will be released, not fixed time or smth

[inner bluff]

10/10, please stop now - Handy was already the best mod, you have to leave some features for the rest of us to improve on

[royal wren]

I already implement everything I want

I probably have the biggest settings page in entirety of balatro mods

So big that I was forced to add pagination, twice

[sullen hawk]

[royal wren]

And yes, make best qol mod ever is my goal. At least in terms on this niche (game controls)

Cartomancer mod also very good with own niche

[sullen hawk]

meanwhile LocFixer living in the shadows
because it targets non-English users 💀

[lost raptor]

how text over cards?!

[sullen hawk]

perfect screenshot with invisible underscore

[lost raptor]

It renders everything above the card.

[sullen hawk]

Handy.UI.state panel.element got me in the first half ngl

[inner bluff]

Peep #💻・modding-dev message for more

[lost raptor]

I. Need

[lost raptor]

yummers

In any case, I can't wait to get my ears blasted when fast-forwarding.

[sullen hawk]

reminds me of my trash Mac

where fps gets so low (2 - 6) that Nopeus' unsafe fast-forward barely affords my needs

the long DT report being capped at 0.1 in console is pretty much the answer: Balatro is effectively vsync-capped at 10 fps, anything lower than that slows the rendering down significantly

[royal wren]

Oh yea, I also added this, because why not. Maybe someone find it useful, for developing or smth, idk

[inner bluff]

It's definitely way outside the scope of Handy's other features, but would you consider a "smart" speedup/animation skip feature? One that gradually speeds up and skips animations the longer a calculation has run for?
When I first saw [this](#1270746376312979456 message) I thought that's what was going on, and really liked the idea

Animation skip is pretty necessary in long super-runs, but having it enabled all the time really robs the game of a lot of satisfying juice

[royal wren]

With animation skip this doesn't work, because how scoring works in a first place

[inner bluff]

Not something that can be enabled mid-calculation, then?

[royal wren]

When you press play button, all calculations already done and all events already in queue

So animation skip just prevent this events from adding

Mid-scoring this have no effect

Only option is increase speed or event queue updating frequency

[inner bluff]

Could you perhaps limit the maximum number of events to be added to the queue per calculation event?

[royal wren]

It's more Talisman's "Abort" button job

Like, in vanilla run, DrSpectred managed to achieve 1 million events in queue

[sullen hawk]

oh yeah, definitely

you son of a crap, I'm in

QoL mod for players:
QoL mod for players and developers:

[tulip ocean]

only mod I'll ever need 🔥

[worldly rivet]

It's quite handy to have

[royal wren]

WIP: search bar

[pallid shore]

my girlfriend agrees lmao

[burnt widget]

The perfectly timed discord notification though xd

[royal wren]

[royal wren]

Looks good. That's crazy

Spend more than one day of UI shenanigans for this one

[sullen hawk]

can't wait to see it fail in non-English

I pretty much gave up on adding fully functional and bugless Vietnamese text input

[worldly rivet]

Are you aware that nopeus crashes with the skip animations handy branch when opening a booster pack?

[merry marsh]

idk if this is related

[royal wren]

If crash have smth like "pack_cards" then it's understandable. I have idea how to fix it

[royal wren]

Whats wrong here?

[merry marsh]

i am stupid

[royal wren]

Well, I cannot fix it

[royal wren]

Fixed, thanks

[royal wren]

This will be a big problem for sure. I'll leave it for next time

[worldly rivet]

No problem

[haughty furnace]

hey so is there something in this mod which makes the game crash?

cus after installing this mod I have crashed 3 times

[royal wren]

Depends on crash-log

[haughty furnace]

where do I find that?

[royal wren]

Just screenshot a moment when game crash

[haughty furnace]

?

[royal wren]

It looks like this

[haughty furnace]

yeah nothing like that pops up

it just closes the game

even with the mod disabled

its just suddenly like this

Maybe its because I'm on crypted using negative deck idk

other decks didn'

[royal wren]

In this case, open Mods folder, then lovely/log and find latest file

[royal wren]

Multiple mods not loaded properly for some reason, even including DebugPlus

[haughty furnace]

which was disabled

[royal wren]

ok makes sense

I guess it's caused by smth other mods, no idea

[silk ledge]

wasn't handy also disabled when this crashed?

[haughty furnace]

during the last crash yeah

but they started after I enabled handy

again could just be negative deck for whatever reason

[silk ledge]

then it's not probably not handy's fault

[haughty furnace]

alr\

[royal wren]

maybe casual "update steamodded + talisman + cryptid" moment

Try to do that

[inner bluff]

Oh, Handy is modular now. Neat! Great organisation

[royal wren]

[burnt widget]

handy carrying the modding scene once again

[royal wren]

After long time, first version which is good enough for releasing.
But, since this update is so big, I preffer mark it as Release Candidate, so I can spend more time for testing new features like Animation skip, Speed multiplier and etc.
Also, want to make keyword for searching better, update localization and README.

Right now it should be stable enough version; if you encounter any bugs or crashes - let me know. Thanks!

Also side note: this version should be safe for using in Multiplayer, all required patches are already applied.

Holy shit this is insane

[royal wren]

Got em

localization by @daring bison

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0-rc2

[royal wren]

Technically, dragged card is also hovered, so now you can use actions on card you're holding on your cursor. Because why not?

[sullen hawk]

nice

[royal wren]

Sorry, I can't stop

[fossil aurora]

dr spectred jumpscare

[lost raptor]

Now, what if I save while scoring a hand?

[royal wren]

Answer is obvious: you can't

[lost raptor]

oko

[royal wren]

Unless something unusual happened or some bugs will be found, this will be last release candidate.
More extensive gamepad testings I'll perform when I'll buy own gamepad.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0-rc3

[burnt widget]

the final stretch

[lost raptor]

can't wait to blow it up by sending the spanish (spain) localization

[lost raptor]

Totally not almost ready

Hey @royal wren uh... how do I like, send you the spanish (spain) localization?

[royal wren]

in dms

[lost raptor]

taken from the gamepad support branch

'cause that is the one that got updated last.

In terms of commits

[royal wren]

use animation-skip branch

[lost raptor]

ack

implodes

[lost raptor]

hey, @royal wren. Shit crashes whenever I try to open the search menu.

branch animation skip, I literally just did git checkout to said branch

[royal wren]

bottom part of log

[lost raptor]

holdon

there

Also updated my localization file

I think it should have every required entry?

[royal wren]

Nope, it should fallback

Just install mod properly

[lost raptor]

?

That's how I install literally every mod in my mods folder

[royal wren]

I guess you opening settings from steamodded mods list right?

[lost raptor]

Ye

[royal wren]

Okay makes sense

You found a bug, good job

[lost raptor]

Did i fuck something up?

[royal wren]

No, all fine

I'll fix it rn

[lost raptor]

yaya

sent localization file in DMs btw

If you want to like, do stuff with it.

idk

no clue how you manage that

[royal wren]

I'm not designer or smth, but mod needs a banner. So why not try to make one? Personally like it

[lost raptor]

Yummers

[silk ledge]

looks great but... what is actually in the background? 👀

[royal wren]

First page of settings

[silk ledge]

oh the settings menu?

[lost raptor]

Looks like the game background idk

[silk ledge]

ye

I like it

[lost raptor]

I uh...

[royal wren]

Too fast I guess

[lost raptor]

It funny

[lost raptor]

So we can take a look at your personal settings, interesting...

[lost raptor]

Make so this thing works with the hand cards as well, idk.

suggestion™

[royal wren]

Problematic. Not in this release at least

[lost raptor]

oko

[pallid shore]

This is pretty actually damn

[pallid shore]

is that a magicka wizard

[lost raptor]

what?

[pallid shore]

oh okay so no

[lost raptor]

[pallid shore]

Magicka is a game about wizards

you can cast magicks by combining elements of fire, water, cold, earth, lightning, shield, life, and arcane

here's the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/42910/Magicka/

Steam

Magicka

Magicka is a satirical action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his foul creations besieging the forces of good.

Handy - QoL controls & keybinds

[royal wren]

I was working on this update 1.5 months. During this time, my vision of what Handy mod should be changed.
Mod started as just "drag to select" feature ad some cards movement by arrows. Now, it's much more than that.

More keybinds means more challenges for me. A puzzle to solve: how implement it, where to put in settings, make sure it works with other mods and more.
"Better mouse and gamepad" mod was one of big challenges for me. I still don't own gamepad, but already implemented support for it. Not ideal, but I do believe much better than in any other mod.

I was not planning to translate mod to other languages, because why such a small mod needs it? Now it has localization for at least 3 languages.

I was not planning to add animation skip since it was already implemented in other mods, like Talisman, Nopeus ans Saturn. But problems on them (SMODS only, no levels of skipping, etc.) forces me to make own implementation, which addressed all this caveats.

More keybinds = less space in keyboard. So I implemented Presets, where you can save mod settings and switch between 3 different sets on a fly, basically triple amount of buttons on your mouse, keyboard or gamepad.

As a result, right now mod have such a big amount of various features, controls and keybinds, easy to be lost. So I added Search tab where you can find what you want easier.

And all of that - still keeping mod not require Steamodded, prevent any bugs and exploits I can find in vanilla game and with most of mods possible.

After all testings and double-check I made, I feel I can release this big update and not crash on launch

Handy v1.5.0

• Gamepad support
• Localization (Spanish by Jogla, Spanish (Mexico) by Sesebasti, Russian by me)
• Better speed acceleration
• Animation skip
• Presets
• Better fast hand selection and deselection
• New keybinds
• Better mods support
• UI overhaul
• Search
• Bug fixes
• Optimization

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0

[royal wren]

Small cleanup update with new additional keybind for fast run restart.
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0a

[royal wren]

Update related to better animation skip implementation for Talisman. I hope it works fine.

I made optimizations to make game not lag during "Calculate..." screen and after, when all animation is skipped and game needs to process everything at once. Also, removed all scoring sounds when the're skipped to not blow up your ears.

Big thanks to @narrow mist for helping.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.0b

Next time use 💥 please

[jovial stream]

I might just be blind so I apologise if that's the case but is there a way to have the speed and skip settings saved and always applied by default?

[royal wren]

No, but I was thinking about adding this

[jovial stream]

That would be amazing

[royal wren]

This small $25 little guy made a lot of work past 3 days

[royal wren]

Done

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1

[silk ledge]

you actually bought a controller to test?

[royal wren]

Yes

[jovial stream]

Thank you so much! Personally I play on 128x (maybe crazy I know 😭), would it be possible to add the entire speed range into the default options? I had a quick look through the scripts but couldn't find exactly what to change.

[royal wren]

I decide that 16x is more than enough in general, higher values in most cases excessive

[sullen hawk]

Handy speed multiplier is separate from vanilla game speed options

I had to put that into account to make sure my animated joker doesn't go wild lmao

[royal wren]

.get_value()

Use real dt idk

[royal wren]

Damn it
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1-qf1

[royal wren]

I uploaded mod to Nexus, if anyone cares: https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/532?

Also, if you're using "Better mouse and gamepad", don't

Mod already have everything from it, also this can be configured (which you can't do in original mod), and much more.
Here's how quickly setup keybinds to be just like in "Better mouse and gamepad":

[sullen hawk]

when a toggle is found in search but search is not cleared, going to the same toggle in its original place and clicking it crashes the game 💀

[royal wren]

Very weird crash. No idea why it's happening

[sullen hawk]

workaround fix: automatically clear search when switching to another tab

[royal wren]

I just prevent a crash

And keeping search between tabs is intented so it's not an option

[sullen hawk]

ouch

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1a

[hallow lily]

When I try to open the game, the game says the HandyBalatro folder is nested but it is not?

[royal wren]

Show crash log

@hallow lily

[royal wren]

I just checked, both ways to downoad mod (.zip and release) works properly for me (on windows)

On MacOs should works too

If you're on linux (without Proton) then this can be a problem, since I don't tested it

[hallow lily]

I use r2modman does that change anything?

[royal wren]

So you're trying to use nexus right

[hallow lily]

No?

[royal wren]

ok nvm

What is r2modman actually?

[hallow lily]

It's a mod manager but I only use it for the profiles.

[royal wren]

Well idk then

Mod downloaded from nexus more than 100 times wtf, is this a bots or smth

[worldly rivet]

r2modman is a mod manager for games typically ran under the unity engine

[silk ledge]

Nexus downloads actually go pretty fast

in my experience at least

[royal wren]

Actually, important update. Bug fixes.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1b

[worldly rivet]

Hotfix????

[royal wren]

Yes, why not

[worldly rivet]

YEAHHH

[royal wren]

Since not everyone knows about speed multiplier and animation skip feature (because current value displayed only when you actually use it), and 98%, maybe I should add toggles for them to vanilla settings, where more likely they'll be found?

Idk where to put it tho, since together with Nopeus on first page will be basically no vertical space

[burnt widget]

i mean with nopeus being deleted you might as well just take over since your mod is still getting updated

[royal wren]

It's now in keep by @narrow mist, so technically it's still alive

[narrow mist]

i mean idk if im actually gonna maintain it that much

[royal wren]

Is it needs maintenance in a first place? Imo mod is done

[narrow mist]

i dont mind doing a little upkeeping for now so that people have it around not completely broken

but im gonna drop supporting it eventually

and its not getting new features

[royal wren]

Why?

[narrow mist]

well i dont really see a big point in it if an alternative thats getting new stuff is already being maintained to keep it around forever

[sullen hawk]

fun fact: I'm still keeping a loc-file supported version of Nopeus on both of my machines

[royal wren]

Does this mean I am killing mods?

[royal wren]

Small update for misc keybind. Yea, that's it

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1c

[sullen hawk]

oh btw

make non-dangerous keybinds not work if modifier keys are pressed

I don't like having QoL keybinds be overlapped with DebugPlus

💀

[royal wren]

Easy to say, you know

I cannot track is any debugplus control is triggered

Even more, because of our different implementations, my keybinds triggers before debugplus ones

[sullen hawk]

I just want to make holding a modifier key (e.g. Ctrl - DebugPlus has an option make holding Ctrl a required step to trigger debug stuff) not trigger Handy shortcuts

[royal wren]

hm...

[royal wren]

Fine

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1d

Good old 2 updates in one day

Meawhile more than 400 downloads from Nexus. Idk is this a lot or not

[sullen hawk]

oh, include Cmd on Mac

wait nvm
DebugPlus allows both Ctrl and Cmd

and Cmd overlaps with many system keybinds

[lost raptor]

Hey, I'd like to report a bug I found while using handy in my steam deck which prevents me from using consumables when opening booster packs. This is the version I am currently using.
(let me take a screenshot of it)

(the button prompt sprite thing is missing, @royal wren (please don't kill me for poingo))

[royal wren]

When controller is used, use is overrided by Quick use keybind

Either disable this control or assign it to button you like

Weird button probably will not render, but will work

[lost raptor]

?

a

cool, it now works

thanks

[royal wren]

It's not a bug, it's intented

[lost raptor]

Then I am just very stupid.

thanks anyways

[sullen hawk]

oh wait

[royal wren]

Versions difference lol

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1e

[sullen hawk]

huh

I took the latest commit at that time

[royal wren]

In debugPlus one

I was using pretty old one, new one have differences

[shy minnow]

where do i download this mod for mac

[royal wren]

Download here, installation instruction here

[shy minnow]

thanks i just did it

[royal wren]

It was a while since last update. That's actually good, means mod in stable state.
Here's some more bug fixes. Important if you use animation skip.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1f

[polar scarab]

is there a way to select cards using key binds exclusively?

[inner bluff]

You might want to try https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349532762259980308 instead (or as well as Handy)

[royal wren]

Sorry, can't talk, I'm in kitchen now 🔥

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1g

[royal wren]

Another small update.

Thanks for recent change in DebugPlus, I can finally prevent all controls when console is opened.
No need now to unbind Cash out or Booster skip while working with console

And as a bonus, few more settings for controller.

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1h

I have plans for next big update. Most likely it will be another UI overhaul.
Since I'm feels more confident with balatro UI, I want split config info separate menus where I'll have space for more explanations and interactive examples for some features

[lost raptor]

Yum

[snow skiff]

idk if this is known but handy seems to make the use button (and buy and use) not work with a controller

this is with only smods, dbplus and handy

[royal wren]

Sell and use buttons are overrided by quick sell and quick use keybind respectively

[snow skiff]

sell seems to still work tho

does it use the left shoulder

(i never play with a controller i was just testing something else)

[royal wren]

Small update with small bug fixes.
As a bonus, new keybind for Multiplayer players!

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1i

[royal wren]

HotPot New UI leak. Since current one is reasonable overhelming (which leads to 98% just don't reading them and then complain why thing doesn't work), I decide to use new approach for it.

Now, some controls will have own page with more explanations how to use them, what they do, and with interactable preview to see controls effect or try them in-place. Planing to add such modals for Speed multiplier, Animation skip, Highlight movement and Quick buy/sell/use.

[burnt widget]

I dont even play balatro anymore but its still always crazy to see the amount of update this mods gets

Crazy shit by you sleepy

[worldly rivet]

oh hey it has what nopeus had

[royal wren]

Here's previously mentioned modal for quick buy/sell/use

[royal wren]

Also, finally, despite me think it was unnecessary, I'll add this

[sullen hawk]

yea, that's nice to have

[lost raptor]

noice

[hoary veldt]

Possible to add an Animation Skip only for Cards going back to the deck after finishing a blind?

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1j

[royal wren]

Possibly later I'll implement full customize for each animation skip level, we'll see

[royal wren]

Remember this one? Now it's here!
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1k

Both of them allow to see and adjust current Speed multiplier and Animation skip values respectively, and each toggle indiviually can be shown or hidden if you need to.

guys stop

[hoary veldt]

Is this still in the works?

[royal wren]

I'm busy with other projects

[wanton ginkgo]

Heya! I think the "Better Mouse and Gamepad" preset is borked. It crashes the game when I click it

[royal wren]

I see..

[royal wren]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1l
l update indeed

[mighty shoal]

nice

[nocturne kernel]

I was out of the loop, almost didn't notice game speed increases

[candid citrus]

Is Handy causing a bunch of lag known? Specifically, fps drops to the point of stuttering for several seconds randomly, then back to normal. Only started once I got Handy, and I just pared my mod list down to this and its still happening. Even without Card Sleeves, that's a new addition for me

[royal wren]

Check without Talisman first

[candid citrus]

Will do, I'll report back once I've figured out if that fixed it or not

got a big lag spike when i used The Sun on some cards, some of which were debuffed. On Magic deck with Yellow sleeve, game speed multiplier was at 8x, none of the unsafe or dangerous options on Handy are checked. My presets are very close to the defaults, want me to try the default presets, or something else? Also started getting some lag spikes in one shop, started right before opening a pack, and ended a bit after opening the pack, at 64x speed.

[royal wren]

I'm working on Handy v2 btw

For now, another fix
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1m

[royal wren]

I thought I already added this... hm... weird
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1n

[high pivot]

is there a way i can use a keybind to toggle on and off the mod's game speed multiplier or toggle it on as long as i'm holding the key, or is that just not a thing.
(also great mod for touchscreen laptops, makes for a lot of silly fun, especially paired with sticky fingers.)

[royal wren]

Will be added in big update, for now unfortunately not really

[sullen hawk]

I need that asap

having to roll between 1, 64 and 512 feels kinda awkward

[high pivot]

Awesome! i'll be waiting patiently :)

[royal wren]

Question. Should some controls fully override vanilla one? By this I mean if you disable it, it disabled vanilla behaviour too.
As example: Deselect hand. Right now if you disable it, it fallbacks to vanilla one. Should disabling, well, fully disable this control?

[high pivot]

yes, and have a note or warning if you disable a vanilla keybind

more control for the user :)

[royal wren]

Last few months I'm working on 2.0 update
It's still in development, not all features fully implemented/tested (controller is not even started), but already I have working version.

Major difference from current stable version (aside of rebuilding mod from scratch) is completely new UI and ability to assign combinations of keys to controls.

So I'll appreciate feedback on this new additions. Thanks

IMPORTANT! New version uses completely new config structure; old config will be converted to new one automatically, but new config is not compatible with current stable version. So, before testing, save config/Handy.jkr config file so you can restore config in case you want to return
Also dont use it in MP until stable release

Download repo as zip instead of release

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/tree/v2.0

[lost raptor]

yummy update

[high pivot]

Oh yes

[high pivot]

this is perfect, i love how comically fast everything is, and i can control it :)

i love this game so much

[lost raptor]

I wonder if the particles will be fixed anytime down the line, if that's possible.

[high pivot]

I don't think they need to be fixed

Just for a moment turn the speed back up :)

[lost raptor]

Still a bug nontheless.

[high pivot]

I think if it does get fixed, it would be very funny to keep it as a config option, maybe change how long text lasts.

That would actually be very useful, changing the speed of individual aspects.

[royal wren]

That's definitely not happening. Maybe I'll check what to do with attention text but thats unlikely

[high pivot]

i basically clicked and dragged on the tag a little bit

[royal wren]

oopsie

fixed, update

I did not tested all contros very extensively so crashes or something broken may appear

[high pivot]

Glad to be the tester then 👍

[royal wren]

Small visual fix, that's about it https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v1.5.1o

[lost raptor]

o

[royal wren]

I made a bunch of small changes/improvements/bug fixes to 2.0 version. In theory, should be stable on Multiplayer enviroment. NOT stable release
Still need more time for making sure all works on controller, and for other thing I wanted to add for a long while.
Testing or feedback is very welcome!

also 5 stars left to get 100 of them, no pressure of course

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/tree/v2.0

[royal wren]

I made ALPHA release, just in case https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v2.0.0-ALPHA-1

[royal wren]

Some bug fixed for alpha. Again, appreciate any feedback on new controls, UI and combinations.
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v2.0.0-ALPHA-3

[serene veldt]

Hello. I made a feature in my mod that allows to reroll a voucher (like in the image). I do this with a wrapper around Card:highlight that replaces the redeem button with the 2 buttons (but I only do this for vouchers) and I call the function G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons to help me do that.
As expected, Handy's quick buy feature doesn't work anymore on vouchers. I have taken a look at lovely dump after all code injections are made, but it's not immediately obvious to me how my code is interacting with Handy. Everything else is working fine. I'm using version 1.5.1o.
I need to understand Handy's code to understand how I'm interfering with it, so I came here to ask for direction/guidance on what/where to look first.

[royal wren]

@serene veldt

[royal wren]

Meawhile, new alpha release is ready. Aside of new controls, mod auto-updating was added. Basically, that's last time you need to download a mod from github. All future releases (both stable and pre-releases) can be installed from mod config by one button press.
If you're using BMM you probably dont need it, but not all players do, so...

Also, say hello to Me! Amazing art by @lord.ruby

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v2.0.0-ALPHA-5

[silk ledge]

Sleepy in my game, pog

[serene veldt]

Thanks!

[lost raptor]

lol
amazing

[austere crest]

I think all I did was click on the first joker in my shop the second it appeared and then my game crashed with this. It didnt crash when I reloaded, so 99% sure it was because I clicked a shop joker just as the shop was loading in.

[royal wren]

Very weird crash

[austere crest]

I just got the same crash, but this time it was after I clicked a random spot on the victory screen after I was tabbed out for a bit and wanted to refocus the window. I didn't click on anything specific, not even a button of any kind.

[royal wren]

Crash is not related to any your actions, its time-based

Update lovely to 0.9.0 and let me know if it happens again

[royal wren]

Mod has auto-updater now where you can read changelog right in-game, so I'm not posing notifs about new release here as often.
Maybe later I'll implement full changelog with history in-game too. Who knows.

• Upgraded keybinds for opening menus
• UI fixes and improvements
• Even more Me in game! Amazing jonkler art by @lord.ruby
• Bug fixes

If you still not seen ALPHA releases yet, you definitely should. A lot of stuff in here + auto-updating!
https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v2.0.0-ALPHA-6a

[lost raptor]

more silly, yay

[high pivot]

Yippee

#better than balatro plus

[royal wren]

Fun fact: for some of already releases v2.0 releases I designed completely new system to process all inputs in my notebook, after that I implemented it and it was working perfectly in a first try (with small adjustments). I still have all this notes. That was satisfying make stuff work correctly from the start. You should definitely try similar approach at some point.

[serene veldt]

Sorry for the late response, just wanted to mention that in the end it worked really well. The README did have all info I needed but I was a little dumb.

[royal wren]

I can be a jonkler too

[lost raptor]

A jankler.

[royal wren]

Also, I implemented basically all I wanted in terms of features for v2.0
Next step will be making all of them work in gamepad, which will start beta versions line
When controller will be done, pre-releases to fix founded bugs + localization + some adjustments
And, 2.0 stable release which will be available in BMM, Nexus and other mod managers you use

I already have plans for future versions, so still a lot of work to do

[unreal gorge]

does the game still crash when you click search box because when i try to it crashes

in the search for setting

can only click the presets

[royal wren]

crash-log?

[unreal gorge]

hold on let me just try to replicate the issue

[royal wren]

thats a lot of mods man

I need a game dump

[unreal gorge]

it happens with low amounts of mods too

should i try disabling all mods other than handy and see if it crashes

[royal wren]

you better send mods archive you use so I can check it myself

[unreal gorge]

so zip up the mods folder or what

like all active mods?

[royal wren]

actually, try alpha version first and then left me know if it crashes

if so then yes archive your entire mods folder and send in dms

[unreal gorge]

should i archive all the active mods or just the whole thing into a zip when i do

[royal wren]

active only mods I guess

but try this first https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro/releases/tag/v2.0.0-ALPHA-7e

[unreal gorge]

still crashes

and same crash

[royal wren]

if you try enter seed for seeded run in vanilla way, is it crashes

or profile name, or any other text input

[unreal gorge]

hm should i check that

usually doesnt

does not crash in the seed thing or profile name, but what do you mean by vanilla way

[royal wren]

nvm just send mods folder

[unreal gorge]

also i think installing alpha caused another crash with another mod

oh ok

the mods folder contains lovely logs do i need to include those

i noticed that while i was zipping it

[royal wren]

Let it be

[unreal gorge]

ok

i have to send some random message first because discord doesnt allow sending files in profile hover

[royal wren]

ok

[unreal gorge]

also speed multiplier uncap be helping speed up creating 100+ planet cards

[lost raptor]

Hey, idk what amazing magic is handy doing, but v2.0 is certainly not compatible with too many jokers.

[royal wren]

I'll take a look

[lost raptor]

k ty

[royal wren]

works perfectly fine for me

[lost raptor]

then dunno

lemme get the crashlog anyways

Least that'll point me in the right direction?

[royal wren]

I thought its controls stuff, not crash, wtf

[past crescent]

-# ...why is my crash message change in the log?

[royal wren]

I need dump

Specifically functions/button_callbacks.lua file. With which text input you're interacting?

[lost raptor]

I press T to open the menu, then attempt to type anything.

[royal wren]

still need dump tho

[lost raptor]

Only the file?

I suppose this shall do?

[royal wren]

It's your d++ is crashing

Because of this patch

idk what you tried to do here but it should not be here

[lost raptor]

azaming

Loving text inputs.

[royal wren]

Small updates for both versions, preparing to new SMODS versions.
Fixes issue with double loading and mod self-disabling.
