AB+ | Game crashes after lots of errors in console
Hey, my game crashes every other time I enter the boss room. I'm pretty sure it's from this mode, because when I check the console, there are loads of error messages about this mod saying "attempt to index a boolean value (local 'player')". I am playing on AB+.
Also, transformations in the descriptions of items make the same error appear in console.

Edit: link to screenshot with the error (triggered by spawning a "One makes you larger" pill)

Very interesting error; I believe it's because another of your mods is setting the "REPENTANCE" constant to false, despite that being a really really bad idea. (The only valid values for it are nil, or true, and it being set to false could mess up our checks for Repentance characters.)

I've updated the mod on github to more thoroughly check the constant's value, as well as setting it back to nil or true if it detects it's set to false, please check if this fixes your issue: https://github.com/wofsauge/External-Item-Descriptions/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Thank you for providing the debug console error, it made it easy to trace back the issue compared to most bug reports.

Hello, we pushed a new update now. Can you test if it now works better and no errors occur anymore?

Ah, then I'll go into more detail. It was because I used the fact that "nil" is the terminator for tables in Lua to write a super short line that's AB+ compatible:
EID.players = { EID.player, REPENTANCE and EID.player:GetOtherTwin() }
This works fine if REPENTANCE is true, or REPENTANCE is nil, but if it's false, it will put "false" in the table.

Ah, that's quite funny. And definitely a cool solution on your part! Thanks for helping and sharing!
