im assuming this mod is no longer maintained? itd be neat if it was updated for repentance though, with the new horse pills and golden pills and birthright and whatnot, along with Color() fixes. id be happy to create a repentance version myself, though

In that case it's probably because the files have not been extracted and the folder doesn't exist by default. I suggest you use the console to preview the fonts in the screenshot. They don't need to be extracted to change to them.

I'll add a page in the guide on how to create and use your own custom fonts in the near future.

There isn't a "font" folder that I can find.
AstroLight May 18, 2018 @ 8:52am 
There is no "font" folder D=
goki_dev  [author] May 18, 2018 @ 7:10am 
Fonts can be found in Steam\SteamApps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources\font

You can also put your own .fnt files in there. Just type:

yaeid set Font font/upheaval.fnt

to change to Upheaval, for example. Here's a screenshot of the default font's included in the game. [files.catbox.moe]

How to change fonts? And what font list is exist for now?
goki_dev  [author] May 11, 2018 @ 8:47am 
I tried exporting a new font since the one you linked did not work. However, many Cyrillic characters are missing and don't render. It is probably an issue with the game since I tried a few different fonts.

I don't have a good solution for you unfortunately. Here's an example. [files.catbox.moe]

yatboim - I have tried to make as on a screenshot, but even the Japanese font all the same doesn't work. Probably my knowledge isn't enough. If you to me compile the working version - I will be very grateful to you. There are files which I use - at least 2-3 artifacts with the text "Проверка"
and I am farther. And if you refuse that, all the same thanks.

goki_dev  [author] May 11, 2018 @ 6:31am 
I double checked and it turns out you don't need to move the font into the font folder, you can just use font/japanese/mplus_10r.fnt.
goki_dev  [author] May 11, 2018 @ 6:13am 
Since there was any modicum of interest in custom font support, I went and improved the support for UTF8 fonts and added font hotswapping in the latest update. There are code examples in the guide .
goki_dev  [author] May 11, 2018 @ 3:42am 
Nicalis did not implement mod folder support for fonts, so you need to add the font to the game's resources folder at Steam\SteamApps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources\font

For example, there is a japanese font in the font\japanese folder. If you move that font (mplus_10r.fnt) and the png file to the font folder and set yaeid to use that font (yaeid set Font font\mplus_10r.fnt) you can use japanese characters in the description.

Here is a picture example of it working. [files.catbox.moe]

I can to their treasure not there?
TRJ-VoRoN May 11, 2018 @ 2:00am 
yatboim - you haven't understood - I already have such fonts written for this game, but in mod they don't work
goki_dev  [author] May 10, 2018 @ 3:48pm 
There's a program called bmfont that you can find here [www.angelcode.com] that can turn fonts into .fnt files.
TRJ-VoRoN May 10, 2018 @ 6:25am 
yatboim - how to connect the font in the fnt format? I don't understand, he refuses to be displayed. I to add the translation, but nothing is impossible. Please help

Thanks

As far as a list of default values, you can see them at line 90 in the main.lua for one, there's an unset command which resets a value to default for two.

It's unfortunately not possible to use the json.encode Nicalis made available to pretty print the JSON, but you can use a JSON formatter online or switch the language in your text editor to JSON and format it through that.
goki_dev  [author] May 4, 2018 @ 10:12pm 
I took a look and no, because wofsauge doesn't put his own descriptions in the same table as externally defined descriptions, there is no access to the base game descriptions.
o'night May 4, 2018 @ 10:01pm 
Have you thought of compatibility with Wofsauge's EID?
yaEID has lots of advantages over wEID like much more options, local mode, better descriptions but there is one disadvantage - it's not very popular, so it's not updated to latest build, and mods don't have support for yaEID.

Is it possible to use wEID descriptions if yaEID doesn't have them? I mean just descriptions from wEID (or mods with wEID support) but in yaEID api
o'night May 4, 2018 @ 4:52am 
Could you make a list of with default settings values.
Also is it possible to add line breaks to save1.dat so it's easier to read and edit

Has anyone made any expansions for this? To describe any other modded items, besides the descriptions that are included with this mod? If anyone has added any MORE descriptions for any MORE modded items, I would LOVE to get a link to download their files or osmething.... I can add all of the modded items descriptions myself.... but it takes WAY too much time for me to do it myself...
Patatifique Nov 6, 2017 @ 9:51am 
I love this mod but suck at coding, but I'd like to create expansions and descirptions of other mods on the workshop using this. Is there any chance you could release a pre-writen file and I just have to change the item names and their decriptions ? Because I can't seem to make it work myself and I would love to help with that
cigarettetwink69 Nov 4, 2017 @ 4:48am 
I cannot stress enough how much you are helping this game, yatboim
Endless Nov 3, 2017 @ 8:09pm 
Very good mod. I like to use this mod in local mode along with wofsauge's external item descriptions mod. This mod REALLY should be a lot more popular. Great job :csdsmile:
goki_dev  [author] Oct 24, 2017 @ 9:10am 
Next update will add the HandleGenerics option for ignoring non item/trinket/pocket item without the need for blacklisting as well.
zebez Oct 24, 2017 @ 9:09am 
The features works nicely, thanks for adding them so fast! :steamhappy:
Sapharan Oct 24, 2017 @ 1:15am 
Ok, i resubscribed all and it fixed the problem. thanks.
goki_dev  [author] Oct 23, 2017 @ 5:15pm 
The ShowAlways option (` yaeid set showalways false/true) was added and set to false by default, so descriptions will only appear when the room is cleared.

You can now easily blacklist an entity by getting the description on screen and performing the command (` yaeid blacklist target). There are additional blacklist commands as well as the ShowTyping option which prepends the entity's typing string so it's easier to add and remove things to the blacklist.
goki_dev  [author] Oct 23, 2017 @ 3:41pm 
I will add those features shortly.
zebez Oct 23, 2017 @ 1:36pm 
Also is there a way to hide the text info on beggars and slot machines?
zebez Oct 23, 2017 @ 11:53am 
Is there a way to only show item desc when room is clear of mobs?
goki_dev  [author] Oct 23, 2017 @ 6:37am 
Resubscribe or send me your logs, I can only confirm they work when they're properly downloaded by the steam workshop.
Sapharan Oct 23, 2017 @ 6:35am 
When i installed it first time, with the two packs. I had detailed item descriptions for vanilla, and a name and description (the vague one) of any modded item, card etc. But recently those disappeared. I can only see descriptions and names of vanilla items, but not modded.
goki_dev  [author] Oct 21, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
Only thing I can suggest is trying the mods without other mods or uploading the log file (C:\Users\____\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+\log.txt) to pastebin/hastebin so I can see if there's anything I can do.
goki_dev  [author] Oct 21, 2017 @ 12:28pm 
Freshly subscribing to this mod and the base game descriptions works as intended. I suggest unsubscribing, launching the game, closing the game, and resubscribing. Are either of you on Linux or Mac?
Sam Oct 21, 2017 @ 10:31am 
I still see nothing? Can I get any help?
멍멍이 Oct 21, 2017 @ 8:18am 
It is not execute.
Please fix it.
goki_dev  [author] Oct 21, 2017 @ 5:17am 
That issue should be fixed now.
Sam Oct 20, 2017 @ 6:51pm 
I downloaded the base and I still have no descriptions, why is that?
goki_dev  [author] Oct 18, 2017 @ 12:09pm 
I could yeah, I don't really play them but it would be relatively easy.
