OBSOLETE!

So, with the release of Restored Monsters Pack, this mod is obsolete, correct?

makes the floor generation f'ing weird

i love these guys! ..until i have ipecac in a hallway surrounded by spikes </3

skill solution

Updated the mod to decrease density of Dumpling rooms and lower the difficulty of Scab rooms

@Flash Isaac Horf Gaming Scabs are noticeably faster compared to their original version in Antibirth. The Antibirth Monster Library does a better job at implementing them (The Dumpling enemies from that mod are made by the coder for this mod). I will try to edit rooms to account for their speed though.

@KliPeh the issues you described accurately describe why these enemies were cut. No matter how well you do designing rooms, if the enemy is bad, so is the room. I can decrease the room likelihood across the board but not much can be done with the enemies themselves. I want to see this mod change how Dumplings behave, but I only do the rooms, and the person who does the programming for the mod doesn't do Isaac mods anymore.

skill issue

the scabs are literally unfair but cool mod

Installed without reading the comments, and boy do I wish I did first. You see Dumplings absolutely everywhere after installing this; my very second run had 5 out of the 7 rooms replacing regular enemies with Dumplings, and the other runs were not much different.

The real issue is how they behave, though. They fart randomly every 3 seconds, which randomly flings them across the room, over obstacles and behind other enemies. Not only that, but they also get flung when hit once , for every time they are hit - this is on an enemy that requires at least 4 shots to kill. It simply stumps any and all momentum you could've had clearing the first few rooms, when almost every room features them.

Slogging through the first few floors becomes a massive chore as a result. I will probably have to uninstall this. Had they been rarer their addition could have been acceptable, but even then it's not hard to guess why this enemy type was never reintroduced.

For context go to the antibirth wiki page of dumplings and go to the trivia section.

Kinda weird edmund did not port them, He made them!

I like the dumplings alot, especially since with the lil dumpy item added to the base game it feels wrong to not have the enemies to go along, but i think im gonna have to uninstall after having this mod for a long time for several reasons. 1: They appear way too often, too many rooms have dumplings when i feel like they should be more special and uncommon. 2: They fart/attack way too quickly with almost no delay between them, if they did it only every 2-3 seconds it would seem fair. 3: They move way too fast and unpredictably, especially when they knock each other around combined with the near nonstop farting, often leading to unavoidable damage.

@PeopleLikeStuff accurate to Antibirth

Really cool mod, but from doing a couple runs now it feels like Dumplings are a little *too* common, like almost every other room is a dumpling encounter lol

This is a bit confusing, in the bestiary the three base Dumplings are repeated when I have this mod and the "Antibirth Monster library" together, isn't there a way to unify this?

I really love the new variants you have created.

I like the new dumplings this mod adds but it really bothers me that the flaming one (scorchling) doesn't emit light for itself even though it's clearly on fire xC

@An_Annoying_Cat That is an API bug that cannot be fixed on our end

if you get killed by a dumpling it appears on the death screen and overlays with the next thing that you died to next run

perhaps

Lemme guess,you just added Tainted Dumplings into the Ascent,am I right?

Dumpling update

I found a tainted dumpling when I went into the mod's files

This is an issue with the monster library, not with base Dumplings!. I would also encourage you to not use both mods at the same times, as they have not been made compatible yet, I'm unsure if this incompatibility causes the bug you're describing, but I know there's other issues when using both.

I subscribe to a mod called Entropy! In this mod, there is a item that can randomize enemies in every room on every floor (similar to D10). Once when I was playing Isaac, I took this item and later generated two enemy Stone Eyes in one of the rooms. However, not only did these two Stone Eyes' sprites become Dumpling and Scab, but also after I had killed all the other enemies in the room, the Stone Eyes wouldn't stop, the door wouldn't open either, then I was stuck in the room. I suspect that the incompatibility between mod Dumplings! and mod Antibirth Monster Library is the cause of this issue since I enabled both mods at the same time, hope you could fix it.

:(

No, unfortunately

Is this compatible with antibirth monster library?

as far as I can tell it's still not possible without another API mod, HOWEVER!!!! Dumplings (and coils too) are actually still in the default bestiary icons, which mean I don't have to do anything weird to make it work, since they made icons for them from Antibirth, which is awesome

@24Chrome I don't remember the specifics but I know there is a group of devs doing exactly what is mentioned ask around on the isaacscript discord.

The dumplings are in the bestiary, but do not have a custom drawing image since that's not possible afaik with the API. I have some plans to add them to greed mode in the near future

Another humble suggestion: what if Dumplings were added to Greed Mode?

Excellent work! Is it possible to add the Dumplings to the bestiary?

@koroa Make sure you are using a fresh environment a lot of strange issues can often be linked to lua residual data in "/data" folder I recommend deleting this folder every time you add a mod.

It's honestly hard to replicate, it only happens maybe once or twice in a run; the only time i was able to produce it almost every time was when my eden started with toxic shock but even then, it wasn't 100%

Other mods shouldn't affect this, it'd have to be a wacky modded item or something to cause a problem. I also can't seem to get them to bug out with a status effect, neither lighter nor toxic shock, but it's still odd that I can't really ever see it

So I let steam re-download the mod and the issue is still persisting-- it is indeed hard to replicate, but it seems to affect champions as well? It could be a mod incompatibility, but almost all of the mods I have on are cosmetic in nature; what type of mods could cause this invisible dumpling issue? I have a mod that resprites a few enemies in-game, but i don't think it could affect your mod...?

I'll try letting steam re-download it then, you could easily be right on that. Thanks for the response :D

I've seen this issue reported, but haven't seen it on my end ever, it may be an issue of an incomplete download that will resolve itself

Hey, I really appreciate this mod! I loved these enemies in antibirth lol even if they were annoying to fight, their visual design is absolutely spectacular, plus lil dumpy makes no sense without them :P

I've discovered an addition to a previously mentioned bug: it appears that dumplings who are afflicted by status effects will become invisible (toxic shock and lighter, at least). It really affects the quality of gameplay when we can't see enemies that are firing tears at us :( I really hope you can get that fixed

Great mod! the only real problem I have with this mod are the room layouts. To keep it short a lot of the room layouts are a bit BS. Especially with the poison dumpling that spawn in caves. This usually results in unavoidable damage because they spawn so close to the door.

@Ivan_Crysis Thanks for the bug report, I will get around to fixing the problem, there is a room that was marked incorrectly

Hi, i have a problem with this mod, for some reason, this mod cause that marked skull can't spawn on Necropolis II or Dank Depths II, i already tested on different runs, and the skull only can appear on Depths II, idk if someone else have this problem

Certain dumpling champions are completely invisible.

Personally I'm most excited about the main path enemies that were cut (most likely for good) like fissures and blind bats (not so much stillborns) and strifers/swappers. Apart from strifers, I'm pretty sure the other three aren't returning so I'd love to see them :)

They appear way to much

Thanks for this awesome mod !
I like these enemies so much, and nice job for the variants c:

There are several antibirth enemies still left in the game, just unfinished, so I'm waiting for the upcoming game patch to see which enemies are fixed and added, before I remake them to be in the game. If corpse riders aren't added in the patch they're definitely a priority, I really liked them as well. Several people have also asked about some corpse enemies (vessel/barfy), and those are also unfinished in the game, but those would be next too.

Can we get corpse eaters in the next antibirth enemy mod? they are still in the code of the game but they arent used anywhere, which is a shame because they are my favourite enemy from antibirth together with their rarer version with bony riders.
If no/ not yet then whatever, I will gadly wait, but they seem so easy to add (knowing that things like tmtrainer can spawn them and their are to my knowledge fully functioning) that idk how there are no mods that already add them back
