One is canon content that everyone familiar with JoJo will be familiar with. The other is fanon content that was created by and for a specific audience of a discord server that the majority of people likely don't care about

1.0.1 Hotfix!
First big hotfix! A number of these changes were backported to the 1.0.0 release just to quickly address launch crashes, but this is the proper changelist since the original 1.0.0 release:
Adjustments
- Arcane Deck no longer gives -1 Stand Limit. Previously, the Meet Your Master achievement was impossible to achieve, as it requires Arcane Deck and a Stand without any other mods installed
- Added a config option for achievements. People with older demo data may have achievements disabled by default due to an outdated config file
- Cabinet Man functions without installed NES roms and gives $12 instead of $8 as a trade-off
- ACT Sleeve prevents Legendary unlocks/discoveries and sticker rewards when used with ACT Deck
Fixes
- Fixed a crash from Character Sheet referencing a misspelled property
- Correct 2x sprites for From On High, Starry-Eyed Jokestar, and Quadrophenia (even if mini Quadrophenia was funny)
- Banned Arrow and Diary from Stand-Off challenge
- Banned Rare Tag from Mr. Blue Sky challenge because tropes must be adhered to
- ACT Deck uses the correct unlock type
- Methodical Streetlight Joker remembers how to dance correctly and shows its values visually
- Fixed a crash with Insane in the Brain referencing a nil config table
- Crown of Thorns is now considered a woman
- Hurdy Gurdy Man's evolution and Joepiejee use the correct hand upgrade context
- Fixed a type comparison crash for Paperback Writer's evolution
- JoJo Deckskin now applies to all vanilla ranks instead of just faces
- Legendaries no longer get into a weird discovery state using ACT Deck and ACT Sleeve together
- Verdant Leaf/Verdant Leafgilly no longer debuffs Stands
- Melting Madness challenge remembers to actually give Cough Syrup to start
- Joker M no longer gets full after eating just one joker and scales correctly
- Infidel Jokestar's description no longer shows "main_suit"
- Secluded Joker's description correctly states that cards are drawn face down

1.0.2 Hotfix!
Another hotfix release, mostly for bugged challenges and boss behaviors. Some bugs were also fixed by changes in ArrowAPI 1.0.2 (The Suggestion lose condition and Multicolor MOE defeat bugs), so make sure to stay up to date with that!
Adjustments
- Thnks fr th Jkrs achievement is now titled American Beauty and requires +2000 Chips instead of the previous +1000
- Pyrrhic Victory challenge starts the player with Crystal Ball, two Hanged Man instead of one, and +1 max reps for Invisible Sun
- Black Parade unlock uses different flags to unlock immediately on obtaining Negatives, rather than at a delay
- Binding Band now preserves editions
Fixes
- Fixed straight calculation incorrectly receiving function args and preventing Four Fingers and Shortcut from working
- (Hopefully) Addressed a weird card selection bug with Sweet Dreams
- Third-Act Breakdown challenge uses correct boss blind modifier rules
- Foundation Building uses the proper endgame type flag, thus preventing a game win on Ante 8
- Cough Syrup is correctly Eternal in Melting Madness challenge
- Mood Indigo Manager challenge correctly spawns Spectral cards in the shop
- Fixed being unable to disable The Goat blind
- Fixed Takyon not visually updating (and also crashing on reload)
- Fixed Takyon always updating its rank when a hand is debuffed

[1.0.3] JoJo's Balatro Fanworks!
1.0.3 Hotfix!
Adjustments

Fixes

- Funkadelic Joker correctly requires both its listed hands
- Work in Progress tag removed from multiple jokers
hard bloom

@errant zenith realized you said you wanted me to ping you when this was out
errant zenith
the game crashes when you play a hand for some reason
celest heron
Crash log?
hard bloom
I am having issue were don't like to be play with any other mods
celest heron
Fanworks hasn't been extensively tested for compatibility with other mods. The only mods I can guarantee compat with are my own, DebugPlus, Galdur, Malverk, and Cardsleeves
hard bloom
Ya I try to play with your other mods and made to like ante 5 before it crash
hard bloom
Any chance that this could be resolved?
celest heron
Like I said, you're using mods I don't currently support. So it's not a high priority fix
hard bloom
But that case was only using your two mods, galdur which very inoffensive and banner to more easily obtain jokers
At least compability with those should be ok
celest heron
I disagree with that assumption inherently, though looking at the crash log it has something to do with Disturbia, which is one of the more intrusive jokers in the mod and likely needs an overhaul with the new SMODS card limit behavior
I have an idea of what might cause it
hard bloom
Oh did drew Disturbia
celest heron
It appears to be a loading issue with Disturbia, as it's falling set_cost() before the ability table is fully set
I pushed the fix to it up to the main codebase, but I'm currently lying in bed so I can't update the release immediately
hard bloom
Sorry if I sounded pushy I just really like JoJo and was interested in your mod for a while, ok I wait to do another run until that settle or should see if I can use Banner to prevent from spawning
celest heron
It would likely work yeah
And I appreciate the investment! I'm just busy at the moment
hard bloom
Your fine, dude not asking you to do this right away. Hell, all this shit for free
celest heron
Something I do plan on doing is adding a specific toggle to disable all of the items in the game that are likely to cause more compatibility issues
Also do not call me dude pls
Regardless I can do some more work once I get home from an appointment and I can push this fix forward
hard bloom
What would you like me to refer to you as, by your user name or gender specific pronounce?
And sorry for any time you can't understand my English, it my third language. I speak well but just ain't as good in written it. Absolute my du-see I caught myself doing that, well WiN'ter you do that when you can
celest heron
Don't use masculine terms to refer to me. My username, you, and she/her are fine
hard bloom
Thank you I was unaware
Girl I did, I manage to win and hell your Jokers are insanely powerful but your fight were tough too!
celest heron
ooooooh nice
hard bloom
But girl I need a break after that, your mod difficulty had me on the edge my seat
mellow edge
I've been trying to load the mod, but it keeps giving me this error
errant zenith
you added 2 extras
*stand btw
I wrote joker
wait this pull request was wrong
this one's right
celest heron
To both of you, Fanworks is not currently compatible with Talisman or Hot Potato, so crashes are somewhat expected
That said I can look into your issues to see if they're not mod compatibility issues
celest heron
https://github.com/VivianGiacobbi/fanworks-balatro/pull/97
I see your fix, though it does actually need to move resetting the extra hand size value till after it calls G.hand:change_sizw()
celest heron
I've been trying to load the mod, but it keeps giving me this error
I'm having trouble finding the file this error corresponds to due to the truncated listing
I really do wish these crash logs didn't truncate file paths
Like I get it, they're long, but I NEED those
celest heron
1.0.6 Hotfix!
Relatively small this time, just some crashes brought to my attention.
Download here!
Adjustments
- Starting money in Becquerel Shopping Spree challenge reduced from $200 to $130
Fixes
- Banned Foxglove Joker from Becquerel Shopping Spree challenge
- Fixed the credits being out-of-whack with Arrow 1.0.5
- Fixed a crash upon reload with Disturbia Stand trying to set its cost before its ability table is properly set
- (Potentially) fixed a crash caused by items calling
SMODS.process_loc_text()beforeG.GAMEhas been initialized - Fixed a crash when selling/destroying Rockin' Robin Stand due to a bad reference to its current hand modifier
- Paperback Writer Stand now evolves properly at Ante 9, rather than Ante 10
@errant zenith @mellow edge should be fixed now
@hard bloom I believe I fixed the disturbia crash
mellow edge
<@939615553411227699> <@456968897552318464> should be fixed now
tysm
celest heron
Keep me updated because I found the issue though again I don't have extensive testing with other mods
hard bloom
<@415198717642145793> I believe I fixed the disturbia crash
Alright WiN'Ter, I got try for another run
bright grail
Hey! i'm trying to play the mod but it just doesn't work, it keeps crashing whenever I have try to start a run and it doesn't matter if i reinstall it or remove other mods, it still crashes anyways
kinda bummed since it seems like a pretty cool mod and i was really excited to play it, what could be the issue?
celest heron
Regression resulting from some new SMODS feature. I pushed a fix that should prevent it if you pull directly from the repo, but I'm on my phone and not in a position to create a new release
@bright grail
This problem can also be circumvented by using the exact SMODS release specified, which I believe is 1016c
bright grail
This problem can also be circumvented by using the exact SMODS release specified...
i did as you said and it works perfectly now
i really appreciate the help
thank you so much 🙏 🙏 🙏
celest heron
I do plan to do another pass on the mod with more recent SMODS updates once I finish work on a Cardsauce update
bright grail
that'd be sick, mod has been really cool so far
although something weird that's been happening
the game crashes any time the high priestess is on the screen
wait it might be because of another texture pack i have
celest heron
Hmm, it's possible, show me the crash log
There should be a config toggle for the tarot reskins in the mod config menu as a workaround
