Sprite issue

[Glorified Toaster On Legs]

I just recently edited a Boss sprite and saved the original in a backup folder. I went to test out the game and the boss boss stayed the same. Any assistance would be appreciated

I would help you but I don't own the game though

You have to check if you replaced the correct file first. This DLC has a separate folder for it's sprites.

I went into Repent's own gfx folders to get the sprite, Should I get rid of the backup?

what files are you replacing? pretty sure you have to load your texture replacements in as a mod, the 'resources' stuff exported by the tools aren't actually used in the game

[Glorified Toaster On Legs]

I was replacing a PNG.

Where do you keep the backup? If it isn't inside of the game folders, it can't be forced to be used in-game. Which boss are you modifying?

[Glorified Toaster On Legs]

The folder is currently in the game's own directory file, I just moved it there. I apologise for looking incredibly stupid, i'm just new to this sprite stuff.

[Dyne]

you are actually loading it in as a mod right, and not just replacing the png in the resources folder

double checking

[Glorified Toaster On Legs]

Well, it's just the png I was editing.

This boss is Ultra Famine.

Go to the mods folders and create a new folder. This folder should contain all folders that go to the original png file in the game's folder. By doing this you create your own mod for you to test, and it'll override any file that you are modifying. Don't try to replace the game's original files, you'll make a mess and possibly cause errors.

well if you just edited the png in the resources folder, thats why it's not changing - the resources stuff isn't actually whats being loaded in the game, they're just the sprites the modding tools export for modders to use

you need to load it as a mod for it to work - you need to go to your mods folder and make a new folder, then add the sprite in the same file path it was in on the resources folder

so for ultra famine i think it would be:
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth/mods/Your Mod Name/resources/gfx/bosses/repentance/ultra famine.png

Already been helped, G Thanks everybody! i'll see if it works now that it's a mod.

[Glorified Toaster On Legs]

I've decided I'll be making a mod that reskins the Ultra harbingers
