Completion Marks for ALL Modded Chars![AB+ Version]

Description
This mod adds the ability to have "modded" completition marks for ALL(not just mine) modded characters and a special (from 0) one for normal characters too. You can access them by holding the TAB KEY/SELECT (the one you use to enlarge the map) in-game, they'll appear in the top left corner (You can see it in the screenshot).

This version is ONLY FOR AB+ if you want the Repentance version then you can find that one here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503022727

The original idea was to make it for "custom chars only" BUT, I'll keep it for every character for now to support mods that replace the main chars (if the saves go nuts with too many chars i may switch to custom only at some point).

Backing up saves!
As you may know, mods can crash....and if a mod crashes while it's saving well, the save is compromisded, so I strongly suggest to do backups of your saves. To do this head to "Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods", look up for the Completition marks folder and copy the "Save.dat" file to somewhere else and...thats it!

(Im talking about the mod's savefile here, this has nothing to do with your normal game progress save)

Alternaively, you can use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1438478410 which backups your saves automatically.

Changing the position on the HUD
Until the release of this mod, I looked into every character and noticed a pattern in "where people tend to put hud elements on" and decided to place mine in an inconvenient location for compatibility. Now, however, the Samael mod placed his hud on the exact same location as this one, leaving me no options to "be compatible with everyone". So, if you use the Samael mod you may want to change the position of the hud on either my mod or on his mod.

To change the position of the marks you should:
1- Head to "Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods"
2- Look up for the "completionmarks_865535009" folder
3- Open the "Main.lua" file on notepad or the file editor of your choice
4- Look up (usually using Ctrl + F) the line "writebookanim:Render(Vector(40, 40),Vector(0, 0), Vector(0, 0))"
5- Play with the 40,40 values until you get the pos you want. EX: 40, 100 will make it so marks appear on a lower position and the line would be "writebookanim:Render(Vector(40, 100),Vector(0, 0), Vector(0, 0))"

Note: this wont affect your saves with the mod.
Trivia: it's called writebookanim because it's a copypaste of the Agnis mod and I'm too lazy to rename variables, lol.

Reseting the save file
The process is similar to the backing up one...look out for the "Save.dat" and either remove it entirely OR open it with a text editor and look for the character save you want to delete and remove it. (character saves start with the name of the character and end in ";". Make sure you remove all of it!)

Editing the save file(cheater!)
The strocture for saves is the following:

charaname,heart,isaac,satan,bossrush,bbaby,lamb,mega,greed,hush,deli,;charname2,heart2,...

The completion values are 1 for normal, 2 for hard and 0 for incomplete. For example, If I have a character named Billy who only killed moms Heart in normal mode, the save file would look like this:
Billy,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,;

Bugs, incompatibilites, crashes, annoyances?, corruptions?
This is a mod I made in an afternoon, I tested it to hell in that time but there can be some bugs.....specially for the first days of release, so, please, back up your "Save.dat"(normal isaac saves have nothing to do with this mod) regulary and let me know if you find anything nasty!!!. Posting your Save.dat and log file can help me a lot to identify the cause of the bug.
Also, Id like to get feedback on the size and position of the marks....I'm kinda doubtfull about that one.

FAQ
- So this mod only adds the marks to the game screen, right?
No, custom characters dont have marks at all, this mod attempts to add something to cover that. if you didnt notice that then this mod is not for you...you probably dont need it in the first place!.

- Does this work with X character?
Most likely. I tested this with a lot of characters from the workshop and it worked with all of them.

- Does it break if i enable/disable chars?
No, it shouldnt break....this mod has to be enabled to get the marks tho.

- Does it appear in the main menu?
No, it's simply not possible now.

- I lost the progress on X character!!
Go to the Save.dat file and see if the character is there, if it isnt please report it!. If it is, it's most likely due to the author of the mod changing the name of the character (this rarely happens but it's possible), you can fix this by updating the name on the save.dat file.

- Why did you make this?
I play a lot of character mods and want to keep track of my progress with them...I made this one rather quick (in an afternoon)) for myself only, then I realized that some people would probably enjoy it as much as I do so I just posted it on the workshop :)

- Why do you never update this mod?
Updating the mod compromises the modded saves of everyone that has the mod, I have decided to update this one only when it's 100% necessary.


TODO
- Wait...wait till the API adds escencial stuff.
- Any suggestions?

ENJOY THE MOD

Last Update:
- Gamepad Support!
- Fixed a bug that caused normal completition marks to overide hard mode ones

PS: many people have been asking who the character in the image is, it's my character mod "Agnis - The extracorporeal".

Another really impressive mod! :)
Does this mean it could be somehow possible for the modded game to feature unlocks? :O

Nevermind, turns out it wasn't this mod causing the problem. Hope I can figure it out soon and then try this mod out :)

When I run this mod, with a shit ton of other mods, with only one character mod, and with no mods at all, the game crashes as soon as I start a run, but I do love the idea!

Well now isn't that just bullshit I mean they incorperate the ability to make characters without replacing the original but the downside. Achievements disabled. HNNNGGGGG!!!! #TheCringeBeStrong

@Yukari: you cant do that to lua mods, this one has no resources because it doesnt incorporate anything but code. Tht kinda thing only works for skins or simple characters.
Yukari Shinoki & Maddie Feb 17, 2017 @ 8:35am 
It's quite a shame that there is no tutorials on how to properly move mods like these to the folders so they don't screw with achievements... All i found was a Main.lua and a metadata.xml no resource folder >3<

Thank you, it really means a lot to me!

Impressive ! Good work
JSG  [author] Feb 17, 2017 @ 7:47am 
I mean ALL, my character and everyone elses :)
Added it to the desc because I understand why it can be confusing...I just used my character for the screenshot because it felt wrong to use someone else's.

When you say 'custom characters' do you mean your custom character or all from different people?
