If you're still updating the mod, could you make it so that Jacob remains shooting when he is being held in place and Esau is moving via Alt? As of now, Jacob just stops shooting when you independently control Esau. I'm not entirely sure how your code works to prevent Jacob from moving when Alt is held, but what I would do to handle the separate controlling of them is to use the MC_INPUT_ACTION callback instead.

only reason why i have tainted jacob

has some random crashes with weird encounters.

Hey guys! No need to modify save1.dat anymore, I just added MoveEsauBtn/SwapFrontBtn bindings for controller users, as a alternative for MoveEsauKey/SwapFrontKey. These two bindings are 'None' by default, you may customize it in MCM.
@bear rye your issue seems due to division by zero error resulting in NaN, making Jacob and Esau stuck in the bottom right corner and unmovable, which hopefully have been fixed in this version now.

Not sure if its the settings, but I just had a boss room teleport me into the bottom right most pixel and cause me to take dmg every frame I could. I refused to use telepills to get out, but it seemed to think I was still in the same spot damaging the boss. My settings are: Align 6, Force 30, Shoot 0, Jacob True, Outer 400, Inner 2, Only Align True, No Shoot False, Decouple True. Maybe the inner being too small made it teleport?

Is it possible to add a setting so that if we have Jacob in Front set to False (Esau is in front), then the held drop key will move Esau and halt Jacob instead? I think that is what the "Decouple" option is for but I'm on controller and it didn't seem to change any behavior. Also appreciate @[ ] for the file save for controller left stick to allow the swap.

@Bizzle You can add The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\data\jacob_esau_auto_aligns the save1.dat file SwapFrontKey in aligns to 10 (L)

Very good mod. Only complaint I have is that the bomb keybind for controller (LB) is the same as swapping positions.
If you could make it so pressing down on left stick swaps their position that'd make using this on controller a lot better.

And i find this mod after fully completing jacob and esau NOW??!?!??!?!

Mod feels great, makes it much easier to play for the most part! Switching who is in front is a bit uncomfortavle to do obsessively like I do, and it's not easy to do on a steam deck. Could you possibly add an option to dynamically decide who goes in front based on who's closest?

you're a fucking legend

this makes these guys nearly playable!

holy shit i actually like this character/s normally now, literal godsend changes, awesome work

@双笙子佯谬 Oh wow. you are cracked mate, thanks for the update!

@~MG~ Just updated to support press H key to toggle "Jacob as Front" without having to going through MCM. The default H key can be changed in MCM too.
And now we also supports holding Alt key to let Esau move along and keep Jacob standing still.

is it possible to use a key as to toggle between which character to be in the front? instead of going through Mod Config Menu each time. swapping who is in front can be very situational.

Great work on this mod btw, very impressive and tidy <3

Ooh wow great implementation, I love the customizability. Feels great and natural while playing and really makes the character shine! Awesome work and great mod!

@Kattack Good idea! I've updated it just now. @Stlkngne Now we no longer require G key to activate alignment, but activate on shooting and distance close enough instead. Won't align if you are not shooting.

Can you add controller support? Right now, it's checking the G key against the controller index rather than the keyboard index (if playing with a controller).

can u add a video showcasing this mod? I'd like to know how this exactly works but without downloading the mod

Can you make an option so that they automatically align when shooting in any direction and they're close enough together? I think that would make the character a lot more fun instead of having to press a button specifically to do it every time.
