this mod is almost COMPLETELY untested so please ping me if there are any issues, or if you have any feedback/suggestions

#

@wispy folio @charred jetty you were both interested in this so heres the first release

wispy folio Jun 15, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

Yippee

bleak copper Jun 15, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

ive left a few features unfinished for now but it should be enough for what you guys want

#

in the next update im gonna try and add a setting to replace all crashes with this system (completely optional as it could cause other problems)

#

config menu maker upcoming... very very interesting

bleak copper Jun 15, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

the config for the mod is actually made with it
i havent added anything other than toggles so far

#

Forgot to add to the feature list that I last minute added some stuff for the menu like a queue for popups in the menu and a function for hooking the menu

progress update on the config ui thing

nocturne portal config menu maker upcoming... very very interesting

since you seem interested in this feature, does this structure seem easy/flexible enough to use

nocturne portal Jun 16, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

seems simple enough to me

bleak copper Jun 16, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

Awesome

#

I will add the other setting types tomorrow then

OH I THINK YOURE SCORING A PACK 😭

charred jetty OH I THINK YOURE SCORING A PACK 😭

no its softlocked

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

What the fuck

#

There's no way I managed to make packs not open

#

(there's definitely a way)

shadow beacon FUUUUUU

I'm gonna aim to release 0.2.0 today before stopping to work on an SMODS update
So I'll try and figure this out and fix it

#

It's probably because I hook some important card functions

#

It's nice to see someone using my mod tho

#

Actually is this my mods fault or smth else

shadow beacon Jun 18, 2025, 10:21 AM

#

bleak copper Actually is this my mods fault or smth else

naaaa its just cryptid and entropy trying to deal out the deck while the pack is happening

#

everything overlaps and nothing can happen

#

i also had an issue with "aleph" vouchers where it just didnt leave and you couldnt do anything lol

#

apparently vouchers dont actually "self destruct" when they dissolve

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

Interesting

#

Is any of this being affected by Arceus tho

#

Like is there smth specifically I need to fix

shadow beacon Jun 18, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

i couldnt tell ya

#

probably not?

#

considering entropy and cryptid did have a problem with The Choice before

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

Hmmm

#

I'll look into pack opening stuff

#

I managed to break every single modded card a while ago

#

So it wouldn't surprise me that I did the same with boosters

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

@shadow beacon can you see if you can replicate that problem, both with and without arceus enabled

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 10:43 PM

#

this is basically the config maker done

It's usually with tags proccing when they shouldn't, maybe ascended tags, but when I 'refresh' the game, the blind pack just sits there

Do you know if it's an Arceus issue at all

Good morning

bleak copper Weird Do you know if it's an Arceus issue at all

#1 is less likely to be, #2 is slightly less likely to be, since it's probably game saving shenanigans

bleak copper Jun 18, 2025, 11:20 PM

#

bleak copper https://github.com/cheekyrotter/arceus/releases/tag/0.2.0

To sum this up
The config menu thing is usable for toggles, cycles and sliders
Limited customisation options for how they look
However for the time being I'll only be doing bug fixes as I'll be working on an SMODS update

shadow beacon Jun 18, 2025, 11:20 PM

Cool!

@bleak copper Is this the mod the one that disables mods that cause crashes?
If so, how do I check what causes the crash?

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:42 PM

wispy folio <@540173833316073532> Is this the mod the one that disables mods that cause cras...

Kinda?

#

It specifically disables (in theory) most card related crashes

#

And you have to enable it in the Arceus settings to apply to all mods

#

You'll get a popup when there's an error like this and you can copy the traceback

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

Weird
Must be a different mod then

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

wispy folio Weird Must be a different mod then

Luajit patcher or wtv might be the one you're thinking of

#

Can't remember the name

#

That one just puts the traceback in the console iirc

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

Lua Patcher?

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

I can't remember the name but probably

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

K

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

That is probably better at preventing all crashes

#

@wispy folio before I forget actually

#

I am planning to add smth like this

#

A setting to disable all crashes

#

Rn I'm more committed to the SMODS mod browser update tho

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:47 PM

You mean the better looking one?
That was started by Aikoyori?

#

Because I love that feature

#

It looks amazing

#

Also there was a bug that crashed your game when you opened the mods tab if you had certain mods (not sure which) and didn't have Lua Patcher and if you did, it gave you a thousand pop-ups from DebugPlus that's gone now, so that's amazing.

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

wispy folio You mean the better looking one? That was started by Aikoyori?

Nah I literally mean ingame mod browser and manager

#

There's a dedicated thread for this somewhere

#

Starting with basic mod management

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

Oh like the API?

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

A menu for reading info like conflicts, dependencies, etc
Then link to GitHub, update, uninstall, haven't decided on the fourth button

#

Then later a mod browser tab

#

Aiko is assisting

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

WAIT
ARE YOU ADDING BALATRO MOD MANAGER IN GAME

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

Corobo has written a lot of backend stuff but I'll have to implement it for the time being

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

NO WAY

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

Mhm!

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

Pog!
That's really cool!

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

Someone from the mod manager team is also helping, they're gonna add features to the index that we might need

wispy folio Jul 20, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

Cool

#

Are you gonna add Nexus mods

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

I'm primarily responsible for frontend and I'm guessing aiko and Eremel will optimise my stuff

bleak copper Jul 20, 2025, 10:51 PM

Not built-in but it's going to be made with support to add other indexes/sources through mods
