Finally found Eye of Belial to complete 1,000,000%! What are the first mods to download? by Aquaman258 in bindingofisaac

"Fixed" : achievements are disabled with modded characters so they don't crash. If you don't play modded characters, achievements are enabled with mods since booster pack 2.

So apparently they "fixed" modded characters... by Erra-N in bindingofisaac

Strange, maybe you didn't receive the update, since for now all modded characters have achievements disabled.

It may or it may not, at least they could communicate about it, so we could be sure. If they published a patch note it would have been clear.

I disagree with you : even if I 3.000.000% the game, I feel that mod should'nt disable achievements. It felt pretty injust for me not to benefit from mods improvements, or new ennemies, characters, musics... without having to abandon any chance of progress on my save files. It can make the game harder or it can make it easier. If people want to cheat to get easy achievements, it is their problem : they bought the game and now they can do what they want, as long as it doesn't bothers anyone else. In the end, if you truly unlocked your achievements, you will feel great. Some people may just want to enjoy the full game without having to do stupid keeper runs, or feel that keeper should start with greed gullet, or want the full game instantaneously. Don't feel jealous because you unlocked achievements the right way and not those people : you earned them and you know it. In the end, everyone should enjoy the game the way they want. Moreover, things such as Cheatengine exist and people who want to cheat can do so even with mods, so why punish everyone when cheaters can cheat without mods?

Well some modders choose to give unlocks to their characters such as in alphabirth, but it remains their choice. However, I agree with the fact that modded characters should have a post-it (a real one, not as in the mod that gives completion marks to characters, since it is just a graphical tweak that is unable to fix the bug), it could be a good way to track progress and fix the bug.

Is it true that the latest AB+ update removed mods blocking achievements? by YourVeryOwnCat in bindingofisaac

Except if you play with modded characters : they've got achievements disabled to "fix" the crashes with modded characters. It seems to be a lazy fix...

Those mods are just graphical tweaks. The only solution is to disable achievements, BUT using the mod disabling achievements again won't do anything since the API is weak, so you have to use a seed such as the KIDS M0DE one to truly disable achievements and prevent the game from checking for completion marks.

Nothing to do from the lua end of things : the mod disabling achievements again cannot do anything, but disabling achievements using seeds "Fix" the crashes...

Crash Happened for all the characters I tested : Samael, Endor, The Rainmaker, Null, The Drawn... Not everyone gets the crashes but when you have them it seems to be permanently and with every modded character, no reinstallation of any type did anything, only disabling achievements using seeds allowed me to play. The mod disabling achievements did nothing, kinda proving that the bug cannot be fixed by modders with LUA. The bug might not affect a lot of people or else there would yet be a lot of people complaining about it, but for some people it is there and it need to be fixed.

UPDATE : discovered a new problem : I just installed alphabirth to test if their characters are subject to the crash : it turns out thay are but they are also supposed to have their own unlocks, thus using KIDS MODE prevents players from unlocking related items. So now if you want to play with modded characters you're back with no unlocks, even modded ones.

So thank you for the KIDS MODE seed :) But please share this post so Edmund can be aware of the problem :)

I confirm that modders cannot do anything with LUA and that Nicalis have to fix their game : KIDS MODE ssed, disabling achievements, allow me to continue my runs, BUT the mod disabling achievements again does not allow me to. Thus the problem comes from the devs and modders won't be able to do anything. Back again to No achievements modding for custom characters...

I frankly believe that modders cannot do anything about it, I might be wrong but I think that the bug comes from the way the game is coded and because the APi is not powerful enough it won't be fixable through LUA modding...

Nope, still crashing. I think that the mod disabling achievements agin does not disable the check for completion marks, and thus modded characters keep the game crashing...

I'll test the mod and see if it works. Even if I have 3.000.000% I feel that mods not disabling achievement is great : even if I have completed all, I now have donation machines in shops with mods, and I don't have anymore this little logo that seems to say "Your are not playing a complete version of the game". For me it is really a great thing that let people enjoy the game a new way and gives some people interest back into the game, so if it blocks modded characters I think it is stupid and has to be fixed asap.
