Is there any way to remove the sideshow act quirk? I accidentally got it on a character I don't want it on and am sad I cant remove it. I invested a lot of time getting the quirks i want on them and don't want to have to delete that character :( Loving the mod in all other aspects though, its very well done

Thanks I appreciate that! Yeah it's crazy what parental leave + down-time during night shift with baby makes a man do lol.

And thanks for making this class! Ringmaster is with me on nearly every expedition lol. She's just such a fun design, and the art is *chef's kiss* :er_heart:

Nice work :) I'd been half expecting people would make rebalancing / "reimagined" mods, as those are easy, but not expecting someone to go and change the animations! :o
Sir Fartzalot 5 Jul @ 4:14pm 
Since I'm obssessed with this class - I've made a little visual tweak mod for this that speeds up the animations to match vanilla Darkest Dungeon's pace a bit closer. Also fixes the feet being slightly below other heroes and changes the walk animation. Requires this mod of course. (Hope that's okay)
Check it out here

@stone321 if you go into the mods filem shared>quirk>ringmaster quirk library.
open the library file and it shows you the settings on the fan favourite quirks, just change"can_modify_in_activity" from false to true and then itle show up in the sanatorium for removal,

im still trying to find out how to remove the bit that stops you having two characters in the party with the effect, seems fine if they are at different ranks but i dont want my favourite character combo getting stuck lol

This is such a minor nitpick but her feet are like 10 pixels lower than all the other characters. Is there a way I can shift up her sprite a hair?

Also unsure if this is a bug, but Fan Favorite will grant the stress relief when "killing" a corpse as well as an enemy. Furthermore, if your Fan Favorite buffed hero kills the last enemy, the stress relief isn't triggered.
B O N K !! 15 May @ 2:22pm 
Can anyone help me understand how the "Fan Favorite" perk thing works?

Here is my current understanding and I'd love to be corrected:
- When Ringmaster uses Fan Favorite on an ally, they gain a buff and have a chance of gaining the perk "Sideshow Act".
- Sideshow Act is a perk that can evolve and improve by further usage of Fan Favorite on that character, causing it to give increasing amounts of crit %
- Sideshow Act cannot be removed at the Sanitarium.
- No two characters with "Sideshow Act" can be in the same party.
- Sideshow Act will replace another another perk of all slots are full.

Is all of this correct? Am I missing anything? Also, is there anywhere that this stuff is documented in game or otherwise? Thanks!

This mod is truly amazing, really well done!

I love the fact that if you only put the Ringmaster and the Flagellant in the roster it shows "Butcher's Beloved" as the party name
FleglvlaT 4 Apr @ 8:40pm 
i love trinkets from mod.but if u use something for firewood like "time to rest" or "purchasable firewood" she became battle antiquarian 2.0. Can i suggest to give her a chance 50% trinket to appear and lower cost to 2 or even 1?
stone321 3 Apr @ 4:31pm 
In any case she is a fun class that fits very well in the game. Thank you for continuing to support the mod by answering question all these years later!
stone321 3 Apr @ 4:30pm 
I run a large roster with only a single ringmaster. Since we cannot remove the quirk she puts on her co-stars by using the sanitarium, I have to keep reminding myself not to use her buff on too many different characters, so as not to end up with a roster full of wannabe actors with only four instead of five positive quirks, each stubbornly clinging to the dream of making top billing in the small market that is the hamlet. I can only imagine this is meant to be commentary on the acting profession. Maybe make it so that heroes with the quirk also start taking more stress if they cannot get a role for a prolong amount of time. "The hollow promise of fame, once incepted, is the one quirk that cannot be erased from the heart of man." - The Ancestor, probably
(I understand that this is a compromise design choice given the restrictions of the base game. I guess it could be thought of as part of her balancing.)

Love this class and all the work that was put into it! If I could have one request, could you create a separate mod with alternative textures similar to the Ringmaster boss fight mod her? I'm a consistent admirer of Marvin Seo and S-purple, and this mod reflects the same quality. However, I'd appreciate it if we could have the option to make Ringmaster's details (inking/outlines) a little bolder/heavier, especially around the face and helmet (and her puppets) to more closely reflect Red Hook's art style. I would REALLY appreciate it ~!
Ziyad 14 Mar @ 11:01am 
I love her so much! she's hilarious, she's a swiss army knife, she's adorable, absolutely fantastic job!
Frutiger Aero 10 Mar @ 5:12am 
One of the finest class mods for DD. It's pure fun, and she looks hecking awesome. I love having her in a party
TheHolyChicken  [author] 7 Mar @ 4:30am 
I just wanted to write a comment to appreciate all the love this mod has received since release. This page has received over 200,000 unique views, and over 90,000 current subscribers! Unbelievable numbers. I couldn't have imagined something I created having such reach and being so loved.

Thank you to my co-creators for working with me to create this mod, and thank you to everyone reading for being here and leaving nice comments and hyping the mod up in mod discussions

What's up 5 Mar @ 12:25am 
perfect!!!!
Verllero 2 Mar @ 3:30pm 
Nice.
vonhattam1990 15 Feb @ 3:26am 
only one minus point, fan favorite doesnt trigger if it's the last enemy
vonhattam1990 15 Feb @ 3:17am 
i LOVE this class!
TheHolyChicken  [author] 9 Feb @ 3:16pm 
The quirk evolves by taking that hero to dungeons. It can evolve sooner with more success in the spotlight.
doctorwhtvr 9 Feb @ 6:24am 
Hello! How do you improve the sideshow act to support act etc. etc.? Is it based on how many times you have crit?
Himuro Sena 6 Feb @ 9:09pm 
I found a typo in the Russian version of mod
houndmaster saying:
"houndmaster+React_To_Kill_By_Fan_Favourite">
"Преступление никогда не оупается!"
supposed to be:
"houndmaster+React_To_Kill_By_Fan_Favourite">
"Преступление никогда не окупается!"
:momozzz:

how to remove the special quirk, mod is very practical in this game occasion
Boka the Dragon 29 Jan @ 3:27pm 
Does this need Butchers on to work? cus it crashes dd when I try to launch it
Skala 25 Jan @ 11:12am 
This is the best class mod in DD but I would love to see her comic . How did she become the Ring master ? What's her story ?
Boka the Dragon 24 Jan @ 8:39am 
Its currently Broken sadly T///T
(TR) PiemanPeek 22 Nov, 2024 @ 6:09am 
This might be one of the BEST darkest dungeon mods I used. Hats off to you!
OneTwo 8 Oct, 2024 @ 6:04am 
For some reason the "Fan Favourite" ability seems to buff the Ringmaster rather than the character of my choosing - is it working as intended or is there something wrong? It seems counterintuitive
TheHolyChicken  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 2:18am 
You can look in her .info file to see for yourself. I believe there are additional factors that can affect virtue chance though, such as town events or the hero being underlevelled for the dungeon.
Manzah 14 Sep, 2024 @ 3:13pm 
Greetings TheHolyChicken, and thanks for your amazing work.
Could you confirm the virtue value stated above ? 30 procs spamming pass (because science) looks pretty unlucky to me..
TheHolyChicken  [author] 9 Sep, 2024 @ 1:15pm 
Yes, go ahead.
WKallén 8 Sep, 2024 @ 9:27pm 
Excuse me. I want to make a PvP (butcher circus dlc) version for Ringmaster. It will not published in the Steam Workshop. I just play with friends. Is this allowed?
TheHolyChicken  [author] 6 Aug, 2024 @ 11:40am 
It raises crit%, and their crits stress heal party members for more stress
meerdus 6 Aug, 2024 @ 7:26am 
What does “sideshow act” on the ringmasters helm do. Someone got it but it didn’t seem to do anything
NoTalking 21 Jul, 2024 @ 10:57am 
@Experimental
it's reasonably powerful. handle apprentice and elite dungeon pretty well, possess a very special and outstanding way to cure pressure, fragile health bar and not fit for later stage of the game.
Still way weaker than vanilla character, like plague doctor, houndmaster and man at arms. Those three are more powerful than 80% mod character in any difficulty.
NoTalking 21 Jul, 2024 @ 10:42am 
The best class mod ever. Fun, interesting, unique. I would pay for playing it.
Experimental 7 Jul, 2024 @ 8:21am 
As much as I used this class mod for the majority of my playthrough, it's really overpowered to be honest.

Though it's really well made if anything.
TheHolyChicken  [author] 1 Jul, 2024 @ 5:34am 
I didn't think it right to try to give her a canon name - she's kind of RH's character.
pavlik.yanin 2 Jun, 2024 @ 10:17pm 
Whats her canon name?
brynbestgirl 30 May, 2024 @ 7:32am 
i dont know if this has been asked before or not but given there's 386 comments, i'll just say, i'm too lazy to sift through, BUT, is there any way to remove the quirk that heroes get when she puts the spotlight on them? besides disabling and re-enabling the mod after doing a dungeon run
Pimp Lucius 30 May, 2024 @ 3:19am 
The ringmaster mod has been crashing my game on when it finishes loading just for having it enabled. I have no idea what causes this, I don't know what mod it clashes with if it even does clash with a mod, but as long as i don't have the ringmaster enabled, the game loads and every other mod seemingly runs fine. :WitchSad:
pavlik.yanin 15 May, 2024 @ 10:10am 
Has she a canon name? Or i can made her canon name?
unflushablepoop 20 Apr, 2024 @ 3:37pm 
oops sorry
TheHolyChicken  [author] 20 Apr, 2024 @ 2:57pm 
This is the first item in the FAQ
unflushablepoop 19 Apr, 2024 @ 5:26pm 
has anyone else had a glitch where upon using fan favorite ability the damage and crit buff doesn't show up under the target character's currently active buffs? I still get the party stress relief from monster kill stemming from that ability so maybe the bonus is still being applied but it just doesn't show up. Also I was using it on a mod class so that might be the problem (The Thrall by Marvin Seo)
Unstable Energy 11 Apr, 2024 @ 11:21am 
Thank you
TheHolyChicken  [author] 9 Apr, 2024 @ 1:57am 
Link is on workshop page.
Unstable Energy 7 Apr, 2024 @ 6:39pm 
Is it possible to get a version of this without all the trinkets? Trying to load this but I believe the trinkets is pushing it past the trinket limit.
