Notable Changes
#103 Expanded patch targets
TL;DR: You can specify more patch targets.
Patches can now target other mods and even love2d itself. Since non-Balatro buffer names can be complex you should use --dump-all and the corresponding .txt file in dump/ to determine the name of your target.
Important
Patching other mods can cause problems if done incorrectly - problems that can be impossible to debug even with a complete dump. Be careful with this tool, communicate your intent with other devs as needed, document what you've done, and remember to have fun!
#114 Strict patch application ordering
TL;DR: Pattern and regex order inconsistencies have been fixed.
Lovely patches have a strict order in which they are applied: module → copy → pattern → regex, however this was not the case in v0.6.0. This version (and all the ones preceding it) merged the pattern and regex patches together such that they were applied in the same step in the order that they were defined within the patch file. This has been resolved by separating and applying these patches sequentially.
#103 Improved debugging via --dump-all
TL;DR: Use
--dump-allto dump everything.
Every encountered buffer can be dumped, not just the ones that have been patched. Alongside each is a text file which contains the internal name of the buffer - use this name in the target field of patches.
#121 Hacky patch directory interpolation
TL;DR: Use
{{lovely_hack::patch_dir}}in your payloads to access the patch's mod directory.
This variable will be replaced with the parent directory of the patch (either ../lovely.toml or ../../lovely/patch.toml, for example. It's a hacky and temporary solution that WILL be replaced at some point in the future, but it'll work fine for now.
#66 + #102 Linux support
TL;DR: Native Linux support but you must build it yourself (for now).
