Less Distracting Buddies

Description
When I have a lot of familiars, I often mistake them for enemies in busy rooms. And even in quiet rooms, it can be hard to see what's what at a glance.

This mod makes familiars less visible. Some are transparent, others have a grey outline like charmed enemies. Familiars that just spawn consumables, like the Relic, are completely invisible. Familiars you need to see, or that aren't distracting, like orbitals, Incubus, or Bob's Brain, are unchanged.

TO EDIT OTHER FAMILIARS:
if it's a vanilla familiar, make sure to run the ResourceExtractor to get the file for them.
Once you have the graphic file, edit in in your favorite graphics editor (i used paint.net) and reduce the alpha level, contrast, or whatever. Make sure it's saved under the same name in the mod folder and save it as a 32-bit png. If you're editing a mod familiar just save it over the old version of it.

Sorry I didn't notice until now, but spiderbaby is fixed and instructions on how to do it for other familiars were added to the description. Leafia, if guardian angel only bothers you with guillotine for example, you could make a basic lua mod that changes the graphics only if player:HasCollectible(206)

I don't suppose you'd be willing to point me in the right direction for how to make an expanded version of this, would you? I want to hide more orbitals - Guardian Angel with BFFs and Guillotine both throw me off big time, because I have visual processing issues and seeing something Isaac's head-shaped moving around completely ruins my sense of where my character is while I'm playing.

Love the mod; thanks for making this!

Regarding bugs, the spider created by the Spider Baby Transformation renders as a black box.

Fixed isaac's head. Yeah this isn't a hard mod to add to, I could add modded familiars but you really could edit them yourself more easily.

Bug: renders Isaac's head (the trinket) as a box

@Krdi0h open up the files for the mod (Documents/My Games/Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods/MOD NAME/resources/gfx/familiar)

Open the familiar sprites in an editing software such as paintnet and change it appropriately (remember to save it as 32 bit)

And there you go

@Krdi0h idk.

Why am I the first to comment? I mean, this mod is cool.
I would like to know if you could make it compatible with another mod that, precisely, adds two familiars.:dip:
