@Guantol thank you, I implemented this change.

The mod can sometimes crash the game on room change:
this is what's written in the log file:
[INFO] - Lua stack trace:
[INFO] - [C](-1): HasCollectible
[INFO] - ...aac Rebirth/mods/amazing_chest_ahead_2713661861/main.lua(130): ?
[INFO] - Caught exception, writing minidump...

I looked at the script and I found a for loop that cycles item Id from 1 to 1000 and passes them to player:HasCollectible().

Unofortunately passing non existant Item Ids to HasCollectible leads to undefined behaviour, at best it returns incorrect results and at worst it leads to a game crash (though rarely).

The for loop at line 127 of the main.lua file should be changed to:
for i = 1, Isaac.GetItemConfig():GetCollectibles().Size -1 do

I checked the script, and there is nothing wrong with it. It works for me too, without crashing.

I have 3 guesses:
1. You're somehow running an outdated version, in which case uninstall it, launch the game, quit, and re-install;
2. It conflicts with another mod;
3. Actually a subsection of 2, if you have any mod that create items in the starting room, they might be what causing this.

My game crashed and I found these in my game log:
[INFO] - Lua stack trace:
[INFO] - [C](-1): HasCollectible

i think the old chest feature should be removed or given a heavily reduced chance as locked chests appear kinda often and also since it could contain a really good item and even an angel room item it could be really op
Iris Heart  [author] 15 Mar, 2022 @ 8:03am 
Yeah, it gave me a dupe of the item I already had. It seems the issue is on your end.
Iris Heart  [author] 15 Mar, 2022 @ 7:51am 
I mean, I didn't make it to be this way, it's just my first guess how the game did it on it's own. I would think it would just spawn a dupe of the held item regardless, but I really don't know how can it spawn a Crooked Penny. I just opened a bunch of haunted chests and they all gave me items from the haunted pool. Did you have chaos? Do you have any mods that mess with item pedestals in general?
Standing Cirno Fumo 15 Mar, 2022 @ 7:47am 
Not to my knowledge, but replacing items you already had with random stuff feels like a bad way of handling it before the entire pool is exhausted
Iris Heart  [author] 15 Mar, 2022 @ 7:31am 
Hm... weird. See, items are added into item pool by ID. I just checked, and Crooked Penny ID is definitely not in the pool. So at the moment I don't know how this could've happen. When it happened, did you already have any spooky ghost related items on you?
Standing Cirno Fumo 15 Mar, 2022 @ 6:43am 
Haunted Chest item pools seem to be bugged? Sometimes they just don't give a thing from its pool (I just got Crooked Penny from it previously)
Iris Heart  [author] 26 Feb, 2022 @ 8:51am 
There is no known way to make it achievement dependant unfortunately.
SimicBiomancer 26 Feb, 2022 @ 8:47am 
Thanks. Wanted clarity because this seems like a GREAT mod, but I haven't unlocked everything, so I didn't want to have stuff before I'd normally unlock it.
Iris Heart  [author] 25 Feb, 2022 @ 10:27pm 
Yes.
SimicBiomancer 25 Feb, 2022 @ 4:57pm 
Question. If I use this mod, but don't have Wooden chests unlocked, will they still show up?
Iris Heart  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
I don't know how.
raine 13 Feb, 2022 @ 4:08pm 
could you then possibly make it an option for them to appear, like a toggle through the mod config menu mod? sorry if it's too much to ask of you
raine 13 Feb, 2022 @ 4:07pm 
dang, that's too bad
Iris Heart  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 2:10am 
Apparently there is no way to check if the wooden chest is unlocked or not, sorry.
raine 13 Feb, 2022 @ 1:58am 
thanks, awesome!
Iris Heart  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 1:14am 
This mod doesn't make haunted chests appear, so you won't see them if you don't have them unlocked. Old chests don't have any unlock requirements. Wooden chests have an unlock requirement, but I currently don't know how I can check for it. I'll ask around, thou.
raine 12 Feb, 2022 @ 5:55pm 
is there any way to make it so that certain chests only appear if they've been unlocked? maybe a mod config option?
SWE4T & P1XELS 28 Jan, 2022 @ 12:42am 
Yea i guess that makes sense actually.
Iris Heart  [author] 28 Jan, 2022 @ 12:19am 
It's not about visuals. Old chests requires a key to open, like golden one, and wooden doesn't like regular one.
SWE4T & P1XELS 27 Jan, 2022 @ 6:00pm 
I love this mod because those chests are so rare in-game though I feel like regular chests should become old chests and golden chests should become wooden, not vice versa, but perhaps that's just personal preferance related to visual consistency.
ciao_fiv 26 Jan, 2022 @ 10:08am 
fair but they're pretty boring imo. one of my least favorite things in the game
Iris Heart  [author] 25 Jan, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
They are pretty common and are not locked behind beating Mega Satan with one of the hardest characters in the game.
ciao_fiv 25 Jan, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
why no changes to spiked chests? just like haunted chests they are literally just worse regular chests, they cant drop items. hurt yourself for a few pickups, so fun
Iris Heart  [author] 14 Jan, 2022 @ 12:06am 
You can open the main.lua file in the mod directory and tweak the odds there. It will hold up until the mod it updated, which I don't see happening in the near future since I did all I wanted with it and there don't seem to be any bugs.
Flair 13 Jan, 2022 @ 6:22pm 
Lovely addition! Honestly would love to be able to edit some of the values since I'm an RNG freak but I think having more rare chests in general is a great addition to the game.
Iris Heart  [author] 13 Jan, 2022 @ 2:01am 
Evade Taxes. Thanks.

Iris Heart  [author] 10 Jan, 2022 @ 12:56am 
Hush.

What modded character is that in the screenshots?
Iris Heart  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 10:40am 
Hey. I have 0 idea how to add mod config support, and that's not something I'd like to spend my limited time pursuing. You can open the lua file and edit the values to your liking or remove parts of the code alltogether.
Anna 9 Jan, 2022 @ 10:24am 
Just curious if you have any plans to add mod config support? I would love to be able to change the chances of the chests being replaced to higher or lower or even turning one of them off. If not no worries and thanks for the great mod! :resmile:
