Setup Guide

The guide will also be found at the start of the amethystPatcher.lua file.

Amethyst Patcher will NOT work on devices using armeabi-v7a libraries. Sorry! Requires KatieMod by knot126 (r19 or later).

1. Put amethystPatcher.lua in the assets/ directory (or somewhere else if you're feeling fancy)

2. Edit menu/main.lua:
At the very start:
knInclude("amethystPatcher.lua") (or a different path if you're moving it somewhere else)
At the start of init():
apnIitPatches()
apDefaultPatches()

3. Edit hud/main.lua:
At the very start:
knInclude("amethystPatcher.lua") (or a different path if you're moving it somewhere else)
At the start of init():
apInitPatches()

4. You may now call apPatch to patch something at any time!
Syntax: apPatch(patchName, arguments)
Example: apPatch("enablePremium"); executePatch("setScoreColor", 1.0, 0.5, 0.7)

5. Additionally, in the applyPatches function you can put patches that will be applied at the start of the game.

Patches

All patches will be listed at the start of the amethystPatcher.lua file. Make sure to check them all out!
Here are a few of the more interesting patches:

• setPowerupTimer - Changes the default powerup duration

• sprites8x32 - Changes the size of sprites.png to 8x32, effectively quadrupling the number of slots

• uniquePowerupSprites - Sets the powerup sprite IDs to be 63 + powerup ID

• setGameXmlName - Sets the path to game.xml

• setLaserColor - Set the laser decal colors
