fix pls

pls fix

For some reason, I can't scroll, reload, lock or use any option really which is annoying...

I seem to have found a few problems in the desktop application when attempting to parse modded items that causes the mod to fail loading, mainly:

- In itempools.xml if an entry does not have the Weight, DecreaseBy or RemoveOn attribute then the mod fails to load.

- The parser is Case-Sensitive in regards to the Name attribute, meaning that if an entry has a Name that differs only in Casing from the one in items.xml then the mod fails to load.

- If in itempools.xml an entry has the Name that ends with the spacebar character then the mod fail to load.

P.S
I suppose that the last two problems are tied to the fact that the app does not find an exact match in items.xml

Pressing the G button while installed doesn't do anything. Mod is broken.

The mod doesn't work for me, I don't know how to use it, someone explain to me please

Recipes are still off

It's mostly accurate, just one or two random recipes here or there aren't accurate

I think the recent update which changed a few item qualities broke the calculator again @Earlh21, seems like your work is never over

It seems the recipes on the calculator are hit or miss right now. Just tested on multiple seeds with my partner, and we've found that sometimes the correct item can be crafted, sometime it's an item that wasn't even in the tool. I have also tried disabling all mods, using the same exact seed and recipe predicted by the tool, and it still gave a different item.

I found that Gnawed Leaf (id 210) will always be insteaded by Spiderbaby (id 211), some other items also make similarly situation, is that because 11.11's 1.7.9a update? By the way I don't install any other mod, only install all DLC.

@[SA]soul eater This happens when a mod's XML can't be parsed, but it shouldn't crash. I can't see what mods you're using, that link just takes me to my own workshop files. Can you list them in text or with a screenshot?

Yep, it's working great again on my side

@Earlh21 oh wow, awesome! Glad it wasn't a big issue. I've been ignoring Tainted Cain for the past few days; I'll try him out myself in a bit, thanks

man, this thread has been a rollercoaster.

@Pulseoh Turns out I just forgot to update the item qualities for the 1.7.8 update.

Vanilla results should be correct now, but results with Fiend Folio seem to be wrong, now. A few other small mods I tried still seem to work, though.

Not sure why it's struggling with Fiend Folio, but I released 1.5.1 of the tool, and I'll keep looking into it.

@Earlh21 That's unfortunate. It seems like the reverse engineering was previously done by a guy in China named frto027, and he hasn't updated his repository in about 10 months. One can only hope that he comes back to update it again...

@Pulseoh It seems like no one's calculator is fully working right now. The crafting algorithm must have changed in a recent update.

Unfortunately, I don't have the reverse engineering skills to find out what changed. Unless I figure out that it's something simpler, I'll have to wait for someone else to find the problem.

Awesome mod and tool btw! I love it! Hopefully fixing it for this new update isn't too hard

@Earlh21 Same issue is happening for me unfortunately. WKLD 7EHQ, Greedier mode, trying to craft Steam Sale using the recipe 1 coin, 7 bombs, which should work according to the mod, instead yields Sister Maggy

@Ik ben een fruit Can you give me an example of an incorrect recipe? Consumables, seed, tool result, and ingame result?

Since the update it seems some recipes are still correct, but some also are not. Is this due to the update?

FYI, I believe Fiend Folio fixed their xml in their latest update. My tool will tell you if it failed to load the mod, if not.

alright, looks like Tainted Cain is back on the menu, boys!

Woah. That was fast. I just now got around to doing T cain unlocks and I'm also playing with mods. I figured there must be a mod that allows me to see recipes even with mods since External Item Descriptions can't. I had no idea something like this didn't exist until just yesterday!

@[SA]soul eater, @Nexusaxe Support for modded items has been added. See the description for usage.

Unfortunately, Fiend Folio is not compatible out of the box, since there's an error in their items.xml file that prevents my tool from reading it.

If you want to fix it, go into the mod's folder, into content > items.xml, and add a missing space between the description and gfx attributes on line 208. Then the tool will work with the mod.

it would be very nice to have, if you ever feel like getting into Isaac modding again. as it stands, i just never use Tainted Cain when i play with most other mods enabled (which is always, unless i'm going specifically for Cain unlocks) just because of what a hassle playing him is without this mod.

@earlh21 it would be a big buff to the mod because then we could use it with other expansion mods like fiend folio

@[SA]soul eater The game obviously has some way of figuring out what to craft even with modded items, so it must be possible to do. My idea was to scan your mods folder for modded items and use them in the crafting algorithm, but I just never got around to investigating/implementing it.

any progress on getting it working with modded items, or did it turn out to not be possible/too difficult to fix?

for anyone still having trouble:

1. start a game with tainted cain
2. launch the separate crafting companion program from the github link
3. enter a room with items
4. press G
5. enjoy

@Myukyo Nothing is installed when you use the application. You can just delete the zip archive and extracted folder to remove it.

Hey i have a question when i unpack the zip file on the pulpit and i want to uninstall it i just uninstall all the files or tainted cain is a part of the isaac files?
please help bc i dont want to do smth bad to my computer by accident.

@marzo That UI isn't from my mod, it's from External Item Descriptions. If you want to see the crafting results, you need the desktop tool linked in the description. This mod is just for sending pickups to the tool.

eyo buddy ive a question: is this mod get an update recently? bc i remember when i used this mod with the external item description it showedall the possible items i could obtain.. now it display this https://imgur.com/a/NNWBmTy am i missing something or what?

amazing mod and amazing tool.
It's just a problem of mine or i'm missing some consumables in the tool (golden peny, golden battery, big and golden pill etc)?

@Sairen If you don't have the item given by a recipe unlocked, it will be breakfast ingame. Otherwise yes, it should work.

@niku To confirm you did everything: you have the tool open, you have the mod installed, and you have --luadebug in your launch options?

Do I need to unlock all items for this mod to work?

hey i have a problem with your mod crafting companion i downloaded Tainted.Cain by clicking G nothing happened will you help me?

看不懂英文QAQ

yeah i agree with Dalemi, please make it work even if you haven't gotten all unlockable

ok

but i dont have every item unlocked so it dosent work can you make an update for similar cases

@Dalemi Download the Tainted.Cain zip file from the Github link and extract it. Then just run the executable.

@Pancake Seed is sent every time you press G. You can also manually set the seed if you really want to.

how do i open the tool

nevermind i am just an idiot
, and do i need to set seed to the tool every run or is this automatic?

yea it doesn't send pickups to the tool

@Pancake What doesn't work? The tool doesn't launch? The tool doesn't give crafting recipes if you add pickups? The mod doesn't send your pickups to the tool when you press G?

i downloaded calculator and enabled luadebug and it still doesn 't work am i stupid, this mod doesn't work, or my game is broken?
