@Snöiller Fitzroy It's a neutral pill usually. It's honestly not something I have much problem with... The one I have problems with is "I Found Pills" and other similar pills... I was just too lazy to take a Screenshot of the "I Found Pills" pop up in-game, and the only one I found by googling was the one for Experimental Pill.

Experimental Pill is a positive pill though

@Rezator Glad things were solved! ^^)/

So i spend last hour on that and I finally solved the problem!
I edited Your list of pills in pool, i added fev that i like. All of them was 14.
Max different pills in the run is 13, that was a problem. When i remove one of that pills, everything works perfectly :>

@Rezator I really can't pinpoint what might be causing your issue, and I'm not being able to replicate this either...

Do you have any other mods that modify pill pool in any way? Perhaps they're the ones causing the issues... Like, the "No Useless Items" mod does modify the pill pool, for example, so that might be it.

Hey. I don't know why this is happening, i'm not that familiar with modding Isaac, but I did some testing and:
A) GAME_STARTED doesn't work like i thought, it still spawns some pills out of defined pool
B) with UPDATE first pill, that "???" pill is ok. Let's say it is Tears Up. Then second Tears Up, without "???" is acting like i mentioned.

@Rezator This is weird. This issue never occurred when I was playing... Do you have any clue of what might be causing it?

From the top of my head, the only things that could change the pills' effects are PHD (and its friends) and bad PHD... Though they don't really change the pool of effects, they just change the effects to their good/bad counterparts.

The Tinted Skull can also do it in case you have Mom's Bag of Pills, and some specific champion enemies can do it too, but the mod should overwrite the drops from the champions/tinted skull, so... I really don't know what could be causing your issue.

Hey Braska. Thx for this mod! I changed modcallback to "MC_POST_GAME_STARTED", couse with UPDATE pills on the ground and in slot are shuffling after couple used

@DustMan Sure, it's done. It had to add some clunky lines of code to make things work out properly, but she should have both the Full Health as a starting pill, and the Health Up on her pool (since she always has it on her pool on a non-modded game).
DustMan Oct 4, 2021 @ 10:44pm 
any chance you can re-add Full Health for Maggy? its just weird that she doesnt start with it anymore IMO

@Jazz Hands Jim All of my mods are cheaty mods, so I don't mind people calling me out for them! xD

I just make stuff that makes the game more fun for me, they have the right to prefer different types of mods~
Jazz Hands Jim Oct 4, 2021 @ 2:46pm 
this is lovely to see! I made a similar mod years ago that used achievement checks to lock useless pills like bad gas and percs, and I've been far to lazy to figure out how I did that and update it for afterbirth+, let alone repentance. get ready for the flood of "ur cheating >:(((" comments because you didn't want "I found pills" for the 13th time in a row.
AliceShiki's Alt Acc  [author] Oct 3, 2021 @ 3:28pm 
@Standing Cirno Fumo by all means feel free to use my code for whatever you want. Most of my mods were made by stealing code from other modders anyways! xD
Chronstell Oct 3, 2021 @ 1:28pm 
I'd suggest perhaps changing the name to "Static Pill Pool" or "Consistent Pill Pool" so that people can't confuse "fixed" to mean "correcting/improving."
Standing Cirno Fumo Oct 3, 2021 @ 1:22pm 
actually that's kinda a shitty thing to do. forgot I can just edit this myself. Just gonna remove every instance in the mod except for one, and make that one gulp :V
Standing Cirno Fumo Oct 3, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
hey is it alright if i use some of the coding from this to make my own mod? I've been meaning to make one that makes it so a Gulp pill is always present in the [ill pool, but lack of experience led me to just giving a gulp pill directly via console

@Blind, the Bound Demon By "Fixed", I meant that the pill pool will always be the same each run, instead of varying in-between runs. I didn't mean to mean that I made it better or that I solved a problem or anything.

As for the pills that aren't on the pool being useless... There are 36 effects not in the pool. I'd say that 18 of them are useless, 10 are good, 8 are bad, so... I dunno, I don't get your point much. Maybe what you categorize as a bad pill and what I categorize as a useless pill is different.

In any case, the main use of the mod is that you'll never find "I Found Pills" in your runs again. That's the main reason why I made this (it's not on the thumbnail because I was too lazy to take a screenshot of a run with the mod disabled in order to get the text of the effect though... And when I googled, I only found a pic of Experimental Pill being used, so that's the one I used in the thumbnail... >.>). Hence why the thumbnail talks about no more useless pills.

nice mod!
WitchAmy Oct 3, 2021 @ 10:19am 
PS. I'd say this isn't called "fixing" but rather "modifying" the pill pool or even "debloating" it
WitchAmy Oct 3, 2021 @ 10:18am 
according to the thumbnail, you removed: bad gas, bad trip, bombs are key, explosive diarrhea, full health, health down, health up, puberty, telepills, hematemesis, paralysis, pheromones, amnesia, lemon party, r u a wizard, percs, addicted, re-lax, ???, infested!, infested?, power pill, friends till the end, something's wrong, i'm drowsy, I'm excited, gulp, horf, feels like i'm walking on sunshine, vurp, shot speed up, shot speed up and experimental pill...

Now tell me: How this is removing "useless" pills and not "bad" pills? Even if there are a couple of "good" pills here, mostly there are the "bad" ones.

TL;DR Thumbnail is a lie
