[REP.] Martha of Bethany (Character Mod)

Description
NOTICE:
- Since the programmer's departure from the project since 2024, maintenance on this mod has been discontinued. Technical issues with the mod will not be addressed at least in this version of the mod.
- This mod requires CuerLib to function properly, make sure it's installed before you enable the mod!

Inspired by the unused concept of Bethany in the Binding of Isaac: Antibirth, the elder sister of Bethany family is now here!

Caretaker of Hope ~ Martha of Bethany
  • Doubletap the fire key to shoot the Grand Cross
  • All coins, keys and bombs will be converted into HOPE counts
  • Consume 2 HOPEs to unleash light blast by pressing E
  • Consume 6 HOPEs to smite your enemies by holding Q
  • Note: your light blast can break locks and rocks alike!

The Bounded Hope ~ "Martha" the Restrained
  • Your chain becomes your weapon...
  • Holding the fire key to pick up and throw the Morning Star

Features:
  • 1 character + 1 Tainted character
  • Unlockables including 14 items, 2 trinkets, 2 cards and 1 soul stone
  • External Item Description compatibility
  • And more to come...

This mod is currently in open testing phase, any feedback would be greatly appreciated if there is any issue you encountered.

Note: the mod will ask you whether or not you want to unlock all contents by default, this setting can later be changed in Dead Sea Scroll Menu.

Eagerly awaiting the hypothetical remaster! Seems like a really fun character. Marking this as favorite to come back to it one day

@Yuuna_Ivyr I have heard of/encountered this exact bug but I forgot what exactly the cause *was*...I recall it was a compatibility issue with another mod.
Tho, this mod has not been maintained since 2024 since the coder's departure, so on technical aspect of things I couldn't offer further help, sorry about that.

So... I don't know how or why, but as soon as I install the mod I stop being able to move
Everything works fine in the menus, but in-game every key (gamepad included) does nothing aside from Esc

In the log that generates, the only mod that causes problems is this one with the following messages repeated a lot of times:

[INFO] - Error in "PostRender" call: ...ds/martha_2987653166/compatibilities/dss/dssmenucore.lua:1745 : attempt to index a nil value (upvalue 'menuinput')
[INFO] - Error in "PostRender" call: ...ds/martha_2987653166/compatibilities/dss/dssmenucore.lua:1745 : attempt to index a nil value (upvalue 'menuinput')
[ASSERT] - m_Parent invalid downcast

As soon as I uninstall it, everything works fine

@ByEve (Oh yeah, btw, feel free to join the Discord server in the feedback thread of this Workshop item if you'd like to elaborate on the balancing feedback--I feel like I need a second opinion on the matter lol)

@ByEve The HOPE count conversion rate, though...I'll reconsider in the future--at least pills not being relevant when it's convertible to an alt resource (or AT ALL, honestly) is a point I can get behind.

That being said--if you're looking for something that gives a decent challenge, I implore you to unlock Tainted Martha and give it a shot too! And you may default unlockables to "unlocked" in the Dead Sea Scroll setting of the mod if you're not inclined to engage with the base character for unlockable sake.

@ByEve (the mod in its current state is discontinued due to the original programmer's lack of interest in maintaining the mod, but any suggestions would be considered for the remaster of it that MAY OR MAY NOT be realized--not guaranteed at this point)

The scaling of HOPE blast's damage output had been a massive point of attention during the development process, one complaints I received from players in the local competitive scene (back when the thing still runs on 7 HOPE counts instead of 6 and has a reduced damage output) is that the item (thus the main gimmick of the character) loses relevancy late game due to 1) insufficient damage output and 2) using resources on purchasables such as Stairway/Member Card shop or other purposes is more favored upon with more resources for disposal. I can't say for sure the current way it's handled is the best way to go about it (to this day I'm still questioning my decisions), but it's still hard to round such a "final attack" ability up.
