For some reason, I can't scroll, reload, lock or use any option really which is annoying...

I seem to have found a few problems in the desktop application when attempting to parse modded items that causes the mod to fail loading, mainly:

- In itempools.xml if an entry does not have the Weight, DecreaseBy or RemoveOn attribute then the mod fails to load.

- The parser is Case-Sensitive in regards to the Name attribute, meaning that if an entry has a Name that differs only in Casing from the one in items.xml then the mod fails to load.

- If in itempools.xml an entry has the Name that ends with the spacebar character then the mod fail to load.

P.S
I suppose that the last two problems are tied to the fact that the app does not find an exact match in items.xml

Pressing the G button while installed doesn't do anything. Mod is broken.

The mod doesn't work for me, I don't know how to use it, someone explain to me please

Recipes are still off
pulseohyeah Nov 29, 2022 @ 10:41pm 
It's mostly accurate, just one or two random recipes here or there aren't accurate
pulseohyeah Nov 29, 2022 @ 10:41pm 
I think the recent update which changed a few item qualities broke the calculator again @Earlh21, seems like your work is never over :isaac:
Daedalus Nov 29, 2022 @ 10:26pm 
It seems the recipes on the calculator are hit or miss right now. Just tested on multiple seeds with my partner, and we've found that sometimes the correct item can be crafted, sometime it's an item that wasn't even in the tool. I have also tried disabling all mods, using the same exact seed and recipe predicted by the tool, and it still gave a different item.

I found that Gnawed Leaf (id 210) will always be insteaded by Spiderbaby (id 211), some other items also make similarly situation, is that because 11.11's 1.7.9a update? By the way I don't install any other mod, only install all DLC.
Earlh21  [author] Nov 10, 2022 @ 1:14pm 
@[SA]soul eater This happens when a mod's XML can't be parsed, but it shouldn't crash. I can't see what mods you're using, that link just takes me to my own workshop files. Can you list them in text or with a screenshot?
pulseohyeah Nov 8, 2022 @ 10:20pm 
Yep, it's working great again on my side
pulseohyeah Nov 8, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
@Earlh21 oh wow, awesome! Glad it wasn't a big issue. I've been ignoring Tainted Cain for the past few days; I'll try him out myself in a bit, thanks
[SA]soul eater Nov 8, 2022 @ 8:20pm 
man, this thread has been a rollercoaster.
Earlh21  [author] Nov 8, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
@Pulseoh Turns out I just forgot to update the item qualities for the 1.7.8 update.

Vanilla results should be correct now, but results with Fiend Folio seem to be wrong, now. A few other small mods I tried still seem to work, though.

Not sure why it's struggling with Fiend Folio, but I released 1.5.1 of the tool, and I'll keep looking into it.
pulseohyeah Nov 5, 2022 @ 6:37pm 
@Earlh21 That's unfortunate. It seems like the reverse engineering was previously done by a guy in China named frto027, and he hasn't updated his repository in about 10 months. One can only hope that he comes back to update it again...
Earlh21  [author] Nov 4, 2022 @ 9:19pm 
@Pulseoh It seems like no one's calculator is fully working right now. The crafting algorithm must have changed in a recent update.

Unfortunately, I don't have the reverse engineering skills to find out what changed. Unless I figure out that it's something simpler, I'll have to wait for someone else to find the problem.
pulseohyeah Nov 4, 2022 @ 6:01pm 
Awesome mod and tool btw! I love it! Hopefully fixing it for this new update isn't too hard
pulseohyeah Nov 4, 2022 @ 6:00pm 
@Earlh21 Same issue is happening for me unfortunately. WKLD 7EHQ, Greedier mode, trying to craft Steam Sale using the recipe 1 coin, 7 bombs, which should work according to the mod, instead yields Sister Maggy
Earlh21  [author] Nov 4, 2022 @ 12:02pm 
@Ik ben een fruit Can you give me an example of an incorrect recipe? Consumables, seed, tool result, and ingame result?
Ja Nov 4, 2022 @ 8:50am 
Since the update it seems some recipes are still correct, but some also are not. Is this due to the update?
Earlh21  [author] Nov 1, 2022 @ 12:22am 
FYI, I believe Fiend Folio fixed their xml in their latest update. My tool will tell you if it failed to load the mod, if not.
[SA]soul eater Oct 31, 2022 @ 6:17pm 
alright, looks like Tainted Cain is back on the menu, boys!
Shadowdragon.TTV Oct 31, 2022 @ 4:24pm 
Woah. That was fast. I just now got around to doing T cain unlocks and I'm also playing with mods. I figured there must be a mod that allows me to see recipes even with mods since External Item Descriptions can't. I had no idea something like this didn't exist until just yesterday!
Earlh21  [author] Oct 30, 2022 @ 9:40am 
@[SA]soul eater, @Nexusaxe Support for modded items has been added. See the description for usage.

Unfortunately, Fiend Folio is not compatible out of the box, since there's an error in their items.xml file that prevents my tool from reading it.

If you want to fix it, go into the mod's folder, into content > items.xml, and add a missing space between the description and gfx attributes on line 208. Then the tool will work with the mod.
[SA]soul eater Oct 27, 2022 @ 5:33pm 
it would be very nice to have, if you ever feel like getting into Isaac modding again. as it stands, i just never use Tainted Cain when i play with most other mods enabled (which is always, unless i'm going specifically for Cain unlocks) just because of what a hassle playing him is without this mod.
Nexusaxe Oct 27, 2022 @ 4:13pm 
@earlh21 it would be a big buff to the mod because then we could use it with other expansion mods like fiend folio
Earlh21  [author] Oct 26, 2022 @ 6:21pm 
@[SA]soul eater The game obviously has some way of figuring out what to craft even with modded items, so it must be possible to do. My idea was to scan your mods folder for modded items and use them in the crafting algorithm, but I just never got around to investigating/implementing it.
[SA]soul eater Oct 26, 2022 @ 8:52am 
any progress on getting it working with modded items, or did it turn out to not be possible/too difficult to fix?
Nexusaxe Oct 24, 2022 @ 6:20pm 
for anyone still having trouble:

1. start a game with tainted cain
2. launch the separate crafting companion program from the github link
3. enter a room with items
4. press G
5. enjoy
Earlh21  [author] Oct 14, 2022 @ 3:13pm 
@Myukyo Nothing is installed when you use the application. You can just delete the zip archive and extracted folder to remove it.
myukyo Oct 14, 2022 @ 11:46am 
Hey i have a question when i unpack the zip file on the pulpit and i want to uninstall it i just uninstall all the files or tainted cain is a part of the isaac files?
please help bc i dont want to do smth bad to my computer by accident.
Earlh21  [author] Sep 9, 2022 @ 1:05pm 
@marzo That UI isn't from my mod, it's from External Item Descriptions. If you want to see the crafting results, you need the desktop tool linked in the description. This mod is just for sending pickups to the tool.
yea ♥♥♥♥ NATO Sep 9, 2022 @ 12:14pm 
eyo buddy ive a question: is this mod get an update recently? bc i remember when i used this mod with the external item description it showedall the possible items i could obtain.. now it display this https://imgur.com/a/NNWBmTy am i missing something or what?
Torig Aug 30, 2022 @ 3:26am 
amazing mod and amazing tool.
It's just a problem of mine or i'm missing some consumables in the tool (golden peny, golden battery, big and golden pill etc)?
Earlh21  [author] Aug 21, 2022 @ 11:38pm 
@Sairen If you don't have the item given by a recipe unlocked, it will be breakfast ingame. Otherwise yes, it should work.
Earlh21  [author] Aug 21, 2022 @ 11:37pm 
@niku To confirm you did everything: you have the tool open, you have the mod installed, and you have --luadebug in your launch options?
Piszczur Aug 21, 2022 @ 1:01am 
Do I need to unlock all items for this mod to work?
jazzmir Aug 20, 2022 @ 9:07am 
hey i have a problem with your mod crafting companion i downloaded Tainted.Cain by clicking G nothing happened will you help me?
聆剑青钗 Apr 20, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
看不懂英文QAQ
mollumi Apr 16, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
yeah i agree with Dalemi, please make it work even if you haven't gotten all unlockable
Dalemi Apr 16, 2022 @ 6:12am 
ok

but i dont have every item unlocked so it dosent work can you make an update for similar cases
Earlh21  [author] Apr 15, 2022 @ 9:10pm 
@Dalemi Download the Tainted.Cain zip file from the Github link and extract it. Then just run the executable.
Earlh21  [author] Apr 15, 2022 @ 9:09pm 
@Pancake Seed is sent every time you press G. You can also manually set the seed if you really want to.
Dalemi Apr 15, 2022 @ 6:28am 
how do i open the tool
TheBugMan Apr 15, 2022 @ 1:59am 
nevermind i am just an idiot
, and do i need to set seed to the tool every run or is this automatic?
TheBugMan Apr 15, 2022 @ 1:47am 
yea it doesn't send pickups to the tool
Earlh21  [author] Apr 14, 2022 @ 3:08pm 
@Pancake What doesn't work? The tool doesn't launch? The tool doesn't give crafting recipes if you add pickups? The mod doesn't send your pickups to the tool when you press G?
TheBugMan Apr 14, 2022 @ 4:47am 
i downloaded calculator and enabled luadebug and it still doesn 't work am i stupid, this mod doesn't work, or my game is broken?
