It sounds kinda crazy to me that community has to make mods to make the game understandable.
I'm sure this is intended though, I'm new to the genre

Hiya, love the mod! A much less intrusive and cheaty-feeling alternative to EID

In case you'd find it useful, I've edited items.xml to have descriptions for all the trinkets - you're welcome to use it if you like! Should mostly follow your formatting scheme :)
https://hastebin.com/share/evipoxafab.xml

is there any purpose to not be able to fix the co-op issue, or at least be able to scream at people who start co-op with the mod on, cause we spent hours looking for the mod that caused deaths to crash the game only to lose our save because we didn't know what we could do.

I'm on 1.7.9b and found the following bug:
Whenever Judas picks up Birthright, the game crashes.

@honed The mod is still in working order as of January 6th, 2024. Like the Bugs section says, the mod will work throughout Co-Op play however it will crash the game if a player dies. This is not something new to the recent Co-Op update and you should be wary of using it at all if intending to play with other people.

i would like to know why this mod isnt working since co op released. may i get hwlp for fixing that

Hi @Aisu_J5 , the mod is working on the latest Repentance patch. The only other mod that conflicted with mine was Sorted Hearts, and I don't really know why that is; mods that edit the items.xml file will likely NOT be compatible with Internal Item Descriptions - so mods that give you better Devil deals, revert Treasure Chests to what they contained previously, or general pool rebalancing mods. If you do find the culprit let me know!

hi, can you confirm this mod currently works on repentance last patch? i can't seem to get it to work and i don't think it's conflicting with any other mod i have. Such a shame bc i prefer it to the external descriptions mod

Good news, everyone! I was able to fix most items this mod broke after the update, including The Black Bean (which threw you into an endless farting loop upon hit), Breath of Life (which activated once and then never again), and My Shadow (which failed to spawn its familiar, in turn becoming useless). My Reflection and Ouija Board have also received their respective post-update buffs.

This leaves us with 3 items that still don't work completely as advertised:

- Camo Undies properly cloaks you, maintains a Speed Up when you're cloaked, and deals damage upon decloaking; however, it won't provide its temporary DMG / Tears Up.
- Lazarus' Rags revives you with the pre-update DMG Up (+1.4 instead of +2.7).
- Isaac's Tears fires its tear burst and activates faster than other Actives, as advertised; however, it doesn't provide a flat +5 DMG Up to tears fired by it like in the update.

I apologize for any inconveniences caused by this.

@TrueVoidborn The Risen Lazarus buff introduced in update 1.7.8 does indeed not apply when the mod is active. The buff is smaller than the one you would receive without the mod on. As for Camo Undies, it seems you don't gain the advertised stat-ups upon decloaking, but the other effects do apply. I'm not sure why that is. Both items received no new tags in the update, so I'm struggling to find the culprit.

@dontwannalive I don't speak Russian well, but from what I gather here it seems you're saying the mod does not work. I have confirmed the mod to be in working condition in the latest version of the game, currently 1.7.9b. Check your mod list for conflicts.

in the newest update this mod breaks both camo undies and lazeras. probably more items but camo and lazeras are things i can definetly confirm.

I can confirm this mod is causing the co-op issue. After suffering it for some weeks now I tested and confirmed it with a friend.

I'm having the same issue as Minaline, game crashes when someone in co op dies as well and it's this mod that's crashing me too for some reason.

Nope, it most certainly is this one as it crashes with no other mods than this one enabled. If you have a friend with a controller, you could invite them for remote play too see for yourself. No clue what changes in the file makes it crash tho

@Minaline I'm not sure why that is happening. I have no controller to test co-op mode and no coding knowledge to find a workaround. This is a simple items.xml edit, I'm thinking perhaps a different mod is causing this. Sorry!

Greetings! It seems the game crashes when using this mod and dying in co-op. Mind fixing such?

@Momotik Thanks for the report! Fixed in the latest version, please update your game.

this mod has a bug with c-section: you shoot tears, not embryos. fix pls

@EggMaster Thanks for the report! Fixed in the latest version, please update your game.

yuck heart is still 6 charges

@Izonwreda The singular form of “dice” is “die”. I am not a native English speaker so the phrasing in itself could be wrong but I am fairly certain using the singular form in this context is correct; please do let me know.

D100 says "combine all DIE effects"

@terrarins The mod is written in English. It's a simple items.xml edit so I don't really know if you can incorporate other languages into it. Sorry!

does it work with Russian ?

Ech, when I bought the Pc version I felt like it was just there to be modded, so naturally I cheated much of everything in so I had everything to tinker with.

In the console version I'm near Dead God and 1000001% in the other saves, so scoff just a little less!

But I suppose this mod is helpful, one way or another.

@Jordevoir @Den!s I'll take that as a compliment! Seeing as I have legitimately beaten Delirium with Tainted Lost yesterday I won't consider myself too bad at the game - yet Azazel will remain one of my favorite characters in the roster. There is the obvious air of superiority coming from these comments, however I can't help but scoff at criticism coming from two players who have literally cheated their accomplishments in :)

Either way there is nothing wrong with making the game slightly less grueling for new and experienced players alike; especially so when this particular mod doesn't give you any objective advantages over other players. If you have all this knowledge in your head, and would like to keep it there, there is absolutely no need for you to download my mod.

Thanks for stopping by!

I agree with the guy below me

This seems like a mod for Azazel mains

@Landpaddle   @アイリスてる Thank you, much appreciated!

@EggMaster Thanks for the report. Fixed in the latest version, please update your game.

@✺Idên✺ The mod does not provide custom trinket descriptions yet. This is something I am planning on doing and in fact am really looking forward to. I will begin work on this as soon as I'm done proofreading and testing all the descriptions I have written. I was shocked to see the mod get so many good ratings, this many subscribers and favorites, and reaching Most Popular This Week so quickly

good job on your effort!

does it describe trinkets aswell?

the converter has infinite charges

This is an excellent mod. I personally don't use it as someone who's played the game for too long, but I'm sure that players who don't have time to wiki-surf or who don't want the extra overhead of external item descriptions will appreciate the effort to introduce more consistency.

I just said that it wouldn't become official.

@Blind, the Bound Demon This mod is mainly aimed at players who have already seen and used most items but don't always make the distinction between similar ones - e.g. Angel pool "blessing" items (Mitre, Wafer, Rosary, Celtic Cross, Scapular), Boss items that give stat-ups with a minor added benefit, real "HP ups" versus ones that only provide temporary health, Keeper items that look identical etc.

Besides, there is only so much I can do with 10 words or less; some item descriptions give you a direction but are still relatively vague, for example Echo Chamber is simply "Consumable queue", Blood Puppy "Grows stronger" but its hostility isn't mentioned, Dog Tooth tells you to "Howl at secrets" but doesn't tell you at which. Either way, it is only fair to provide basic information with which you can deduce how good an item is or how to use it. Stop being such a purist, let people have fun.

Where in the definition of a roguelike does it specifically say that you are supposed to be given ambiguous information. Would slay the spire be better if every card told you what it does in riddles?

Repentance changed a lot of descriptions to be less cryptic. I don't see anything wrong here.

@Blind the problem is that most of the official items descriptions are way too cryptic, and with items whose effects isn't instantaneous sometimes it's borderline impossible to understand what they do without checking the wiki.
I wish the game was originally like this. Great job KliPeH!

@ectoBiologist
While I agree that this mod fits with the style of the vanilla game, it definitely won't (and shouldn't) become official.
The point of a roguelike is that you're meant to find out what the items you get do, not have the game tell you what they do.

@ectoBiologist Thank you for your kind words! They mean a lot to me. This mod took many hours to make and is still continuously being updated as I find better ways to communicate information or find missing parts.

Please report any typos or misinformation here

You ever see a mod that needs to become a part of the base game as soon as possible? This is one of those.

Interesting...
