Extending the mod
This mod adds a new flame with a few mechanics I thought would be cool to have in DD2.

However, I am aware tastes are not the same for everyone and you might want a few different effects on the mod than what I gave it.

For example, you may want the Clustered Eyes to spawn with a trinket like Ordanied bosses do.

There is no reason to keep this mod's functionality a secret, so I will open this discussion for anyone who is interested in extending the mod and I can give feedback on how it could be done.

For the example above, we rely on the buff called "monster_items_buff"

All you need to do is create a new mod, add in the csv file the following:


element_start,boss_eyes_stalk_l,DataExternalBuffs
buffs,monster_items_buff,
element_end



And activate this mod alongside the Candle of Despair mod.

Other changes will be quite a lot harder, for example adding new trinkets to the trinket pool is not easy at all since all the trinkets are a collection of handmade buffs and there is only one buff (the monster_item_buff mentioned above) which will randomly pick the trinket to add.

For any other question I am willing to help.
